You can choose your e-mail address from hundreds of cool domains in our catalog.
You can be: john@OKusa.com, susan@OKnyc.com, robert@OKmoney.com, jane@OKuk.com or many others. You no longer have to have an unforgettable, nondescript, possibly boring e-mail address like: angela1456@hotmail.com or steve.smith31@yahoo.com

Unlike Hotmail/Yahoo!Mail, we also let you access your emails from home/work using programs like Outlook Express, Eudora, Netscape Messenger, etc using a protocol called IMAP.

What do I get?
We will give you one of the most powerful mail services anywhere on the Internet!. If you rely on email on a day-to-day basis, or you need to send and receive large attachments, you'll want to become a member. There are three levels of membership with various privileges. For the complete details, see our complete service level comparison. Here's a quick summary with the most important differences:

• MEMBER ACCOUNT: 1 month free trial, then $25 per year. 16 Meg quota. Send email without using your ISP using our SMTP server. Fully customisable forwarding service. Multiple 'personalities' to send using different addresses (send from your work address!). Notification window tells you when mail is received. Use your account for personal or business communications.
• FULL ACCOUNT: $35 per year. 50 Meg quota. POP access if you don't have access to IMAP. Advanced and powerful spam filtering
• ENHANCED ACCOUNT: $55 per year. As FULL, but 150MB storage, and increased addresses, groups, pop links, notepages, etc.

• Advertising messages added to the bottom of messages are inappropriate for professional communications. Not placed on messages sent from FULL or EnHANCED Accounts.
• Advertising banners and graphics heavy pages mean that pages are slow to load
• Simple things take too long (e.g. adding more than one attachment to a message often requires navigating multiple screens)
• Attachment sizes are limiting. Many presentations and spreadsheets sent through email which too big for these systems
• Many systems won't let you change the reply address in sent messages, which is inconvenient and appears unprofessional
• Moving messages between systems or retrieving messages is almost impossible. Most systems don't have POP3 or IMAP access so you can't retrieve your mail with a standard email program. If you want to forward emails, you usually have to do it one at a time

• It's fast
  • No graphics, no ads and lean HTML pages means that most screens take 2-3 seconds even over a modem. Compare that to 25-30 seconds for other systems or worse if, as is usual, they're vastly overloaded
  • We're committed to continuously providing you the fastest email system possible. We understand that you want to get things done, not wait for advertiser's messages to load


• It's professional
  • No ads or tag-lines in sent messages (except MEMBER accounts, which must mention 'http://OKmail' somewhere in their signature). You get to choose the signature you want to appear at the bottom of every message. Keep multiple signatures for your work, personal, club, etc. emails
  • Use your own work email address as the reply address (if you prefer)
  • Use the powerful spelling checker to ensure your email is error-free
  • Use the AutoFormat command to format your email including bullet points, indented paragraphs, and so forth


• It's unobstructed
  • You can send and receive almost unlimited sized messages
  • You can get email from as many external providers as you like using POP
  • You can redirect (like forwarding, but keeps the original sender intact) as many messages as you want to another email address, rather than having to forward them individually


• It's available from everywhere
  • OKmail doesn't require cookies, Java, JavaScript, or any other technology. It will work on the browser you find at your hotel room, airport lounge, TV internet, and so forth


• It's efficient
  • It's designed to get things done for you as fast as possible
  • For example, attaching up to 3 files to an email message is available directly from the message composing screen
  • Just about every action can be accessed with 2 clicks
  • You can happily open multiple windows and browse different folders in different windows at the same time
  • If you are reading a message with many large attachments, a single click tells OKmail to compress all the attachments into a single zip file and send it to you


• It's externally accessible
  • OKmail provides both external POP and IMAP access!
  • This means you can retrieve messages to a local client using POP
  • Or you can leave messages at OKmail, and access all your folders, Inbox, etc using IMAP compatible mailers such as Outlook Express and Netscape Communicator. All accounts get IMAP access!

It will work just fine if you want to disable these features though)

1. We have extremely low overheads. We don't have any management layer, marketing department, office space, etc. We use high quality open source software that we have modified to suit our needs. Our main expense is server space and Internet bandwidth. Thus we can break even with even a low number of paying users.
2. We have strategies in place to deal with all aspects of spammers! Many other email services have been taken down by spammers either bombarding the service inwards, or using it to bombard people outwards. We've put dozens of small and large strategies in place to stop both of these, including making automated signups harder, having message receive and transmit rate controls, relay blocking, common spam header blocking, etc, etc.
3. We're not going for a 'grow huge, fast' strategy. We're looking for reasonably slow growth with good customers. We plan to provide a powerful, professional, niche service to people who are sick of under-featured, slow email services that claim to be 'free'. Remember, you always get what you pay for, and 'free' means that either advertisers are paying for your time, bandwidth and attention, or it's a loss leader for some other service they want you to buy. Our charges are modest and we hope that you recommend us to your friends, colleagues and relatives.
4. We 'eat our own dog food', that is, we use OKmail ourselves. This helps us understand what works and what doesn't on the web. Too many companies think they can translate a standard application interface to a web interface. They also waste time making things ultra pretty, rather than ultra fast and powerful.
5. And finally, we're creating this site out of fun and enthusiasm, we enjoy doing it, we enjoy getting good ideas from people, we enjoy good feedback and thanks, we're trying to do the best, and create the best site possible. Of course all of this takes time, energy and patience. We have that, we hope you enjoy the results!.
