1- Get excited. 2- Create account. 3- Provide alternate e-mail address for security during signup 4- Login to the site. 5- See that outlook.com found out your facebook profile picture using your alternate e-mail address and started using it in outlook.com 6- Get turned off immediately. 7- Close browser, to never ever login to outlook.com, ever again
Honest question: Is sending an e-mail just to show a sample somehow more efficient? Why not just provide a link to the sample? I tried 6 times to get an e-mail sent and finally got one on the last try. Almost gave up.
Edit: No, I still don't have an e-mail and no information as to where I can find a sample
... and on a -somewhat- related note: Does anyone here recommend 'premium' e-mail hosting, such as Rackspace E-mail? (http://www.rackspace.com/apps/email_hosting/rackspace_email/). What are the benefits of such services? I am trying to understand the benefits of these premium e-mail services to a postfix on a self-managed VPS.
