Despite these things looking comfortable, I can't be bothere to spend a hundred bucks on a pair, let alone wearing them in public.

Too expensive for my liking. I generally spend 5 times less than that on shoes.

I think they look ridiculous but what benefit are they supposed to have? Why would you buy them?

AFAIK, they look cool, easy to pack multiple pairs of shoes, lightweight. First two are irrelevant to me.

Definitely not. I've seen people wear them and they look hideous. Just my opinion. Or is it? $Shucks | :-\$

Is that the only reason? Hmm. Flip flops have the same benefits.

They must be targeting some group of people. Runners? Not sure.

I haven't seen anyone wearing it in public. Might be good for the beach I think.

Don't think so. My Pumas (both of them) are awesome and good to go for at least another couple of years. By then we would have enough reviews of these to decide whether to buy or not.

I will reply to this post whenever I by my next running shoes.

Supposed to be soft, but looking at the sole way too thin, sharp stones (let alone glass) would be a nightmare.

I am looking for a free webmail client, and was wondering if anyone could offer advice and/or experiences. A POP3/SMTP server comes with my webspace, and I use Thunderbird at home for accessing it there, but I just need something to get my e-mails when on another computer. The provider recommends horde, but that is painfully slow, sometimes taking in excess of 20 mins just to load up the inbox.

I used to use Outlook.com, but a number of months ago, they did an update and it stopped talking to my POP3 server. Rather than investigating and fixing (if fixing was indeed possible), I just thought about elephants and stopped using it. I have also used gmail, but that had so many e-mail addresses associated with it (g-mail address, my POP3 address, work e-mail), it gets too confusing.

I was wondering if there are any decent public sites that could get my mail (with instructions not to delete it from the server), or alternatively, the best PHP client that I could simply load onto my web space and simply configure it to get my mail from there. It would be nice if it kept the contents up-to-date automatically, rather than downloading hundreds of e-mails once I log in.

Any advice is appreciated.

Cheers,

Mick

I have never used such web mail clients and have therefore no experience. But nobody has answered so far. So here are my thoughts.

Does your webspace provides IMAP?
POP3 is dead nowadays. Most providers moved to IMAP and still existing POP3 support accesses the IMAP folders in the background. With IMAP, you should be able to use Outlook.com and any open source PHP web mail client.

If you don't have IMAP support you are probably stuck to a few products (from a quick web research):
Horde, Afterlogic WebMail Lite PHP, NOCC (outdated but maintained), Postaci (outdated).

There might be sites providing such web mail client services. But I would never use them because you have to give them your mailbox credentials.

An alternative might be using an additional web space with IMAP mail support. Then you can poll the mails from the existing account and store them there.

I just had a real-time chat with the providers. Horde have a webmail2 client these days, which I tried out, and it loaded and sorted 700 odd e-mails in my inbox in the blink of an eye - so that should suit my purposes for now.
Just to complete the info, though, the servers do support IMAP, and if I were to set up my own client, they recommended squirrelmail.

Firstly have to say say POP3 is far from dead, it's alive and well. It's not for your phone but for the desk/laptop POP3 still 100 X more used than IMAP, and for automaiers 100000 X more common.

outlook.com. it's microsoft, it's closed source, it's compatible with ?

As to webmail, try squirrelmail[^],

it's PHP compatible, still supported, and free.

I'm currently running Afterlogic's free client against a hMailServer install on the same VM on Azure....it's nice and clean, works well, has a couple of themes etc.

Only restriction I've bumped into with the free version is that it can only deal with a single mail account, but the paid version AFAIK removes that restriction.

There's also a .NET as well as a PHP version Smile | :)

I use Zoho Mail[^] for one of my accounts and it is very good and free for personal use. I also use outlook.com for some others and have found it to be perfectly ok.
