Possibly, that would be cool! Although, it wouldn't be able to be mailto:katie@neopets.com because people would use it to scam....

I'm not sure how exactly this is going to work, as far as what the @ will be, because I agree with Twinkly, having a mailto:name@neopets.com or even neomail.com could lead to even more mail scamming.

From what I read awhile ago, there was (don't know if this is still true) supposed to be 2 different email options, a regular one and a "premium" (which I would guess means for pay) email option.

Guess we'll all find out once this is released!

From what I've read from Neo-collectors, the address is mailto:username@Neomail.com and it is a completely paid-only service.

The article is here

I tried to register for that - it took the charge three times off my (edit: bank) account and didn't even sign me up.

Just the usual service from tnt then!

I strongly urge all users to carefully examine the privacy and terms policies before signing up for this email service. Basically it says that they have the right to use your information in any way they see fit, including selling the user lists (translate: more email spam in your boxes.) The actual ISP host, Velocity.com, has very different privacy policies than does Neopets.com. I'm rather shocked that Neo isn't pointing this out to potential users..... :o

Looking to buy Snowbunny Stamp and Sticky Snowflake Stamp. If you're selling, please PM me!

Well, in that respect it's kind of like that glophone. You have to read the very fine print on that regarding privacy and their terms - there's something in there that basically says they can use your computer resources, plus that one takes up alot of room and I've heard people have had a very difficult time trying to uninstall it.
