USFamily.Net's has added a new Webmail feature that allows you to check your email from your web browser. Webmail is perfect for traveling, remote email viewing (at work, the library, or on vacation) or for the more casual or novice internet user.

While we offered a link to a free Webmail company previously, this new version is faster, because it run's on our own Webmail server, does not include banner ads and it also allows for attachments. Webmail is also handy to delete a huge email you really don't want to download. Try it on your current email address at http://webmail.usfamily.net/cgi-bin/webmail.cgi or from our main menu. Our new Webmail is available free to all users who support us through our email tag line.

In order to keep marketing costs low, avoid a price increase and still provide unlimited high speed Internet access without busy signals, we have implemented a short email tag line. While our service and price performance exceeds the other choices dramatically we have a major challenge in that no one knows who we are and marketing costs continue to rise. This is an extremely serious threat to our ability to offer the low prices that we have provided the past 3 years. Starting in June all USFamily.Net email will have our tag line appended in an effort to make more of the world aware of who we are and what we offer. While it is a slight irritation to some, we ask and hope all of you will use and support our tag line, but those of you wishing to remove the tag line from their emails may turn it off at our website under service and support/my account/tag line. https://secure.usfamily.net/usr-tagline.html Your subscription must be a Standard 11.99, Premium 15.99 or higher plan to turn off the tag line Tag line supporters also receive free use of our new Webmail facility at any time.

Over the past six months USFamily.Net has made significant investment in the development of redundant mail servers to improve performance and reduce any potential down time. While USFamily.Net has only had a couple multi-hour email outages in its three years of service, this new redundant technology should further reduce any worst case outages to about an hour or less. It is interesting to note that the larger national services have been experiencing 1 to 3 day outages every 2 or 3 months. Just another example of how our service and price performance exceeds all others. This redundant mail server technology was developed by, and is unique to, USFamily.Net. USFamily.Net presently processes well over 1 million emails per month and our new technology can easily process 100 million emails per month.
