MyEmail.com - Web Access to POP and IMAP Email Service

MyEmail.com is a very simple, secure and straight forward way to access your POP or IMAP account on the road with just a web browser and connection. Unfortunately, MyEmail.com does not access IMAP accounts they way they are meant to be accessed and both spam filtering and message editing show room for improvement.

An IMAP account is a wonderful thing to have — you can access it from any computer, and any changes you make will be reflected everywhere automatically. Of course, you still need an IMAP-enabled email program,, which only too often you will find missing. POP email accounts are even worse if you try to read mail from anywhere but your desktop. Enter MyEmail.com.

MyEmail.com is an email client that is always with you, accessible with just a web browser itself. Hand it your email address and password and MyEmail.com shows you any new emails, allows you to compose replies and includes a simple address book. You can even move mail to folders and store it for later access in the 1 GB of space offered by MyEmail.com.

While the message editor in MyEmail.com is a bit simple and offers little comfort and power, reading mail in MyEmail.com is a secure affair as MyEmail.com automatically disables remote images and content that could compromise security. Unfortunately, you cannot opt in to seeing the images in individual images, and MyEmail.com could use some spam filtering abilities.

My biggest gripe with MyEmail.com is the way it handles IMAP accounts, however: it treats them as POP accounts, downloading any new messages from the Inbox, instead of offering an interface to all the messages and folders stored on the server. It's really a pity MyEmail.com misses this chance of full email access on the road.
