New Rediff Mail BETA - F3 (Free, Fast & Flexible). Review on RediffMail

REVISITED™

Disclaimer :Please ignore some features(such as AD free interface) that are mentioned in this Reviews; They are no more. It was just another introductory offer to lure customers, Rediff has withdrawn the AD-FREE Beta version & has turned into a comparatively slow, irrating AD & POP-UP's SUPPORTED - yet another no good mail service.

I am using Rediff.com for quiet sometime now & was not very impressed by thier service though, But things have changed....Just take a look at the new REDIFFMAIL BETA & u will be Impressed & What more can u expect; It's free, blazing fast. Offering you a storage space of 1 GB. It enables you to send 20 attachments at a time, with a total mail size upto 10 MB. The New Rediffmail has several new features that resemble the Outlook which makes managing your email simpler, like drag and drop mails & other functions like instant preview, quick attach, mail search, easier to access address book, etc. It has powerful spam control and a much richer and more efficient interface - That's what Rediff Claims although there might still be some flaws in Spam Control.

So lets me try & list some Advantage - Rediff :

1. It's Free (Atleast for Now).

   
   




2. Blazing Fast (Than any other Free mail service)

   
   




3. Very Flexible (Ease of use - Functions such as Drag 'n Drop, Instant Preview, Adress book, Mail search)

   
   




4. Attachments (Quick & easy attachment & total mail size can be upto 10 MB, but with a limited number of upto 20 attachments)

   
   




5. Storage space (A Massive storage space of 1 G.B....though not the best in terms of storage space when compared to Gmail etc...But 1 G.B that Rediff offers is more than enough for a average user)

   
   




6. Spam Control (A good & decent Spam control interface)

   
   




7. Read Emails from your any other Mail service providers accounts (You can get your office mails or mails from other POP accounts in your Rediffmail mailbox)

   
   




8. Get POP3 Access (You can read mails from your Rediffmail account in email clients like Outlook Express, MS Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, Eudora etc.)

   
   




9. Access to Rediff Bol (Free Instant Messenger service which enables us to chat )

   
   




10. SMS (Free SMS service again a feature included in Rediff bol)

    
    




11. MultiLingual Support (Enables to write mails in different regional languages like hindi etc...)

    
    

Disadvantage - Rediff :

1. POP3 Access is not Free.It's available for a nominal fee of Rs 399 / Year (Gmail, Mail2web & a few others provide it for free)

   
   




2. Rediff Mobile is also a Premium service.

   
   




3. You need to login at least once every 30 days to avoid Suspension of your Account

   
   




4. Attachments only upto 10 M.B whereas S.P's(Service Provider's) like Mail2web offer attachment upto 100 M.B

   
   

   Overall a Good Perfomer......But the question is how long is this Beta service going to be Free......or even AD free.S.P's like Yahoo & Mail2web provide Oulook features too but their AD suppoted version can be very disturbing & irrating & Refiff is the only S.P as per my knowledge who is giving all these Outlook features for free.....

   
   

   So just Enjoy !!! it for Now & Hope it stays free.....
