Heh. They just ripped off the entire old .mac webmail login. I thought people stopped doing this in 2000

And they charge for their service (at least on some levels). I don't think it'll take very long for them to get "the letter."

"iCoolFox.com is now under the umbrella of Scen'sational Business Network."

That sounds like they're pleased to be there, lemme tell ya.

Gotta say though: 1 GB IMAP storage for $ 49 a year is at least better than Apple. When is Apple gonna stop being stingy on webspace ?

That site looks a lot like the .Mac site if you look closely at it...

OK, this one bugged me; couldn't understand Apple not getting
this one off line yet. Bear with me here.

If you click the link supplied by Kenneth; on the bottom bar of the
Safari window it says it's contacting a .mac site.
Then go to the bottom of the login and click the link for the
Scenational group - watch the little bar at the bottom and again it
goes to a .mac page (account?)

So, e'splain this to me......they're using their .mac page to set this up?
(yes, real ? I'm trying to understand how this isn't all infringemnt and
just a blatant missuse of a .mac account)

The Real URL of the site http://homepage.mac.com/icoolfox/webmail/ They just used cloaking to hide the real site URL. should be super simple for Apple to close the .Mac account, since your not allowed to run a business site on .Mac.

About 10 seconds after they stop being stingy with their stock RAM configurations.















i.e. Never.
