Advantages: None

Disadvantages: Crashes, loses your mail, hard to access, small attachments only

When I got my Blueyonder internet package, I decided to use the email account they gave me. I now regret it for 3 reasons:

1) It's hard to find. If you're on the main blueyonder site, it's at least 3 clicks before you get to the login page. At home it's on my favourites list, but if I'm at work checking home email, it's always a fiddly job to get there. If I type the page address in direct it often comes up 'unfound'.
2) Attachments are small. You can only attach 20mb to an email, which is ridiculous. If I ever want to attach a couple of high res pics to an email I end up logging onto my wife's hotmail account which has more availability.
3) My email account has crashed 3 times in the 3 years I've had it. What do I mean? I've currently had NO emails to that account for over 1 month! People have said there emails have been returned to them. I thought my inbox might be full, so I deleted everything in there (including the rubbish bin) but it still isn't working. When this has happened in the past, there's no explanation, it just starts working again after a while.

Considering this is an email account I am paying for, it's terrible. Hotmail is better in so many ways, but I have all of my accounts linked to the Blueyonder site, so I have to put up with it.

Summary: Use hotmail for email!
