Anyone tried http://www.ownmail.com/ ?
You can even retrieve mail from a hotmail or yahoo account.
You can also use it for your domain, like everyone.net or BMB.

I don't understand how you setup your domain.

The Mail Exchangers for this Domain are not set as required.

To make your Email System start working, you will need to do the following,

Contact your Web service Provider, ask him to
Create a subdomain ******.dhs.org. which to point to 216.136.147.215 mail101.ownmail.com
Mail Exchangers for the Sub Domain ******.dhs.org should point to,
216.136.147.215 mail101.ownmail.com Priority: High.
202.54.22.116 ownmail1.uchil.com Priority: Low
You also get free 10MB WebSpace. You can access and administer your Website at http://mail.******.dhs.org once the following is done.
The Internet Address (IN SO) for the Sub Domain ******.dhs.org should be 216.136.147.215.

You and all your users can access your website at mail.******.dhs.org
Once the Mail Exchangers for your domain are set to our servers, you can start using the System. But you do not have to wait till then to set up your email system.

If you're hosted on FWS, your best bet is to copy-N-paste those instructions and your account info & e-mail it to Tech Support requesting a your MX (mail exchange) records be modified.

lastaction hero has a point about the unwillingness to supply contact info..

Besides the fact that I find it suspicious, have you every hear of a place Mumbai, Maharashtra? Geeez! If you can pronounce that, then don't use OwnMail. Besides, everyone.net is easier and more user-friendly. What du u think?

Mumbai is the second largest city in India in the state of Maharashtra. It is the commerce hub of the country :)

I think ownmail seems much better than everyone.
More costimizable.
Wonder how the uptime and support is?

Anyone here that had any personal contact with them??

I think that it's a pity everyone.net doesn't still have a free service...

I agree though that ownmail does look like it could be an excellent service. I'm trying to sign up at the moment - but their site offers no help whatsoever (after registering I got the message that my mail servers where not set up correctly - even though I had no way to know how they should have been setup prior to that). I did however receive a prompt reply to my email.

We'll see...

[roblev]

Good News! I signed up for OwnMail last night and I got a email from them today saying my domain was set up properly and how I could access my domain and administer it!

NOTE TO PEOPLE SIGNING UP WITH OWNMAIL AND USING MYDOMAIN:

From experience to set up your domain to handle OwnMail you will have to do the following:

(We will use my clanman domain as an example)

1. Go into domain controller and add a subdomain called mail.

2. When MyDomain asks for redirection, select IP Pointing.

3. It will return you to the MyDomain Redirection Config Page.

4. Click Add IP Addresses

5. Add the following IP: 216.136.147.215

6. IP pointing is setup! But now we have to do the mail server process.

7. Return yourself to the redirection config page of the www or root of your domain.

8. Under MX Record settings click Add MX Record.

9. Enter the hostname as mail101.ownmail.com and distance to be 1

10. Do it again, but enter ownmail1.uchil.com and distance to be 10

11. If all is right and MyDomain made the changes (which sometimes can take hours, mine was seconds) refresh your browser.

12 If you get the message <!- Error -> Then you have successfully set up your email domain with OwnMail.

13. You will get a email later on that day about your domain settings, etc.

Hope this has helped!

Thanks, roblev, you helped.
I had set it up correctly, just didn't have time to go see if it worked.

I get an error at Ownmail saying that "com.kg" is not a valid domain extension. Is there something I'm missing?
