Origin Email Accounts

As Origin's veteran members may recall, OriginXT.com currently offers private @originxt.com emails (gmail.originxt.com) through the Google Apps program. However, due to the limitations of the program (we are only able to offer 25 email accounts that are basically not too different from regular @gmail.com accounts), we plan on relocating the email service back onto our own servers.

Effective next Tuesday (the 22nd), all @originxt.com email accounts will be transferred onto the OriginXT server itself, and hence the few who still use their @originxt.com addresses (provided by Google) will see their accounts terminate; if you have an actively-used email account with us, do not worry—I have already contacted you about this system change and informed you about the expected effects of the planned change.

The change will allow us to host all email accounts on us—and we have plenty of capacity to share. The interface will be just as functional but cleaner (for a demo, visit webmail.dailycow.org and login with test as the username and originxt as the password), SMTP/POP3 are still offered (albeit with different details), and there will be no ads on the online interface.

So come and reserve your account now before they're gone! Additionally, we are offering email forwards too for those who prefer to have only one box to check. Please post your comments, criticisms, praises and complaints here.

Thanks
