Worst email service still in service today?

What do you use?
These days our customers who listen to us get Google Apps or hosted Exchange, something like that.
Some of them, before consulting with us, do some research then just insist on an on-premises Exchange server. That's ususally no the greatest idea on DSL/cable/whatever. Of course you can always add a service on like MX Logic (now McAfee SaaS) that will hold the mail for when your Exchange server isn't online.
Anyway, the worst one that I can think of is the one my company provides. 25 MB mailboxes. The autodiscover feature of email clients picks the available IMAP service, too. 25 MB IMAP boxes!!! frickING BRILLIANT!!!

We're about a 50 person company, and it's premise Exchange run on a VM. 
I think yahoo is the worst of the free e-mail providers.

I know a guy who uses a mindsrping email. It was apparently bought out by earthlink if that helps paint a picture.

I remember mindspring circa 1999. I think I got a free pair of Saints preseason tickets when I signed up.
I think this was the game:
I think this was the game:
quote:
The Green Bay Packers have always preferred to play on natural grass. In 1999 this was taken to a new level when their preference inspired an innovation in stadium groundskeeping. The first NFL game in a dome to be played on natural grass.
When the Packers were planning a preseason game with the New Orleans Saints in 1999, they said they would prefer to play on a natural grass. When the Saints couldn’t secure the use of Ladd-Peebles Stadium (Mobile, AL), Mississippi Veterans Stadium (Jackson, MS), or Tiger Stadium (Baton Rouge, LA) they decided to bring natural grass into the Superdome.
Southern Turf Nurseries of Robertsdale, AL, provided the grass to the Superdome. The grass was indeed real. It needed to be mowed a few days before the game, and some fans complained about allergies.
After the game the grass received positive reviews from people around the NFL, and the players. Saints WR Andre Hastings stated, “We should play on it every week”. But despite the reviews the Saints went back to the fake stuff.
The game itself wasn’t all that exciting. The Packers easily defeated the Saints 38-17.
I was disappointed that I couldn’t find a photo of the field. I remember watching the game on TV, and it was definitely an unusual look for the Superdome.

Most of our clients are moving to Office 365 Hosted Exchange (the $4 plan). We still have quite a few with on premise Exchange... ones with SBS 2008 or SBS 2011 boxes. We route email through a cloud spamfilter first so it can queue if server/power/internet goes down.
I steer clients away from Google Apps, I can't stand the Outlook sync and the absolute black hole for support.
I still actually resell old crappy POP/IMAP plans via our web hosting company. I give it to them free with websites. I try to explain the difference, but most are happy as can be with one or two POP accounts vs hosted Exchange.

I love it when I get an email from someone who is still using AOL 
They are always tell me they are "AOL Online" all the time 
Our filter service hates hotmail -clocks most of them

I wish I could move us to O365. Tired of managing Exchange and our crazy fricking e-mail growth. Legal holds abound, so our DBs grow like crazy. Moving to EOA in the cloud would be a fantastic solution - we already pay for it - but our Security department is so far behind that they think cloud services are illegal for our industry. It's incredibly frustrating. Sitting on somewhere close to 10TB of e-mail storage when 90% of that could be on Microsoft's storage for free instead.

TCI@Home Network, back when cable internet was <1mbps. We had it at home briefly. It was so unreliable that we decided to go back to dialup. It was one of the companies swallowed by AT&T, but I think the @home.com addresses may still work, or else they were changed to ATT.
