Millions of free e-mailers soon may pay fees |
 |
Free e-mail could become an endangered species at major Internet portals. Yahoo and Microsoft, which have hundreds of millions of free e-mail users, are launching premium e-mail services that cost $20 to $30 a year for heavy users. Portal giant Terra Lycos also is considering charging. Their reasoning: Customers may grumble about paying for online content. But they will grudgingly do so for e-mail, the most popular online activity. ... »

Gov. Bush campaign gets McBride e-mail list, solicits supporters |
|
Campaign officials for Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Bill McBride have accused Gov. Jeb Bush's campaign of sending unsolicited mass e-mails to McBride's potential supporters and donors, asking for their support. Bush's campaign obtained the list of e-mail addresses after a McBride campaign worker inadvertently e-mailed supporters without hiding the names and e-mail addresses of other recipients. Someone who received it then sent it to the Bush campaign. ``They e-mailed our e-mail list,'' said Robin Rorapaugh, McBride's campaign manager. ``They spammed these people.'' ... »

E-mail speed fanatics finally slowing down |
|
Electronic mail's immediacy is its strongest point. While the send-and-receive cycle on a physical letter can take weeks, e-mail allows you to accomplish a year's worth of communication before lunchtime. This is perfect for people who hate wasting time, along with the interminable wait imposed on those who play within post-office rules. E-mail rules were quite different, actually requiring this immediate response. An answer to a letter through the post office could arrive three weeks from the time it was mailed and you'd think no less of the correspondent. It would be twice that time before he would be considered rude. ... »

Better e-mail standard for county already here |
|
When Paul McIntosh was the county administrator, he resisted the idea of making electronic records more accessible to the public. At every turn, his staff, presumably at his direction, made vague excuses about how it was technologically impractical to save all computer-generated communications, including e-mail, for inspection by the public, without compromising security and certain confidential records that are exempt from state law. ... »

AOL is humbled by e-mail directive |
|
America Online is the world's most successful Internet service provider — except, apparently, in its own house. In a humbling reversal, AOL Time Warner Inc. is retreating from a top-level directive that required the divisions of the old Time Warner to convert to an e-mail system based on AOL software and run by America Online's giant public server computers in Virginia. The drive to get all the company's 82,000 employees to use AOL e-mail was an attempt to give symbolic resonance to the marriage of AOL and Time Warner, the largest corporate merger in U.S. history and perhaps the most-scrutinized litmus test for the marriage of the old and new economies. ... »
