The Angelfire team is getting ready to release a new WebMail feature for all members with the "Argon" plan or better. (That is, all plans that come with a domain name.) Although not ready to be announced to the general public yet, it was decided to announce the feature to the Club members first, to get user feedback and to get some more real users on the feature. (This feature is also available to Tripod members with domains and anyone who purchased a stand-alone domain from Lycos Domains. You might even notice that I just cut-n-pasted this whole spiel from the Tripod Club because I am lazy.)
The new feature is a web interface to email, which includes sending outgoing mail which neither Angelfire nor Tripod has supported up to this point. It is similar to, but different than, "Lycos Mail" (mail.lycos.com). It is useful when accessing your email from a computer that is not your own. It can use the same mailbox as one you have configured with Microsoft Outlook or another email program, so you should be able to move between the this and a separate mail program without losing any messages.
If you are interested in trying the beta, you can go to http://webmail.domains.lycos.com. You will see a login and password window. You should login with the email account you want to check, and its password, and *NOT* your Tripod account name. (For example, if you own mycooldomain.com and your email address is 'fred@mycooldomain.com', that would be your login name. The password is the same password you would enter in your email program to read the account.)
If you want to create additional email addresses for playing with, you can do so via your normal "My Account" page. (On the domain tab, when you select into your domain.) At some point in the recent past, we silently increased the number of email addresses most users could have and how much disk space, so you probably should not have trouble creating email addresses to test with, if you don't want to use your own.
The system is not exactly how it will be when completed and there still may be bugs. Please report any problems you see in this thread and the Angelfire team will look into it.
