I have signed up to idnet and go live Thursday 31 Jan ;D
Moving from a nightmare last 6 months of pipex.
I have already received an email from idnet letting me know about the possible network problems over the weekend. Something that never happened with pipex. I also have the official web setup account information from idnet.
But my question is, I have test the login into the odnet website to look at my account details a little naughty before I go live but I just cant wait to be away from the evil that is pipex.
Do you think it would be ok to setup an email account with idnet from the account settings and start using it before the official go live?????
I need an account to send some login information to, such as playstation account.
Thanks
Hi Bob
Once you have access to your accounts page, you can set up the email addresses and these will be live immediately. In practice, you will probably have to use your existing SMTP (outgoing) server until you migrate, but to recipients, they will just hit reply, and the mail will go to idnet.com. Remember you can have as many email accounts as you want, each mailbox can hold 100MB, the maximum attachment size is 10MB. You can also set up forwarding, auto-reply and as much or as little spam filtering as you want.
I'm not sure whether you can set up web space, blog space and the Gallery in advance of activation, so if you try it and it works, could you let me know please?
Not sure about the gallery and blog space, but webspace won't work until you migrate, as it has to be accessed via IDNet. :)
Thanks for the quick replies.
I'll get a new email account setup to move a few essential accounts over to.
I think I'll give the images a quick go as it seems an interesting, not sure about how much use the blog would be but I may give it a play just for curiosity.
Thanks again
:)
Welcome to the forum, Bob!
Curiosity got the better of me
It seems I am able to at least start a presence with all of them

Picture Gallery The item near the bottom called bob

Blog

And the email works
;D
I like the picture gallery, and am a little surprised it isn't more heavily used.
It seems that beyond just the good service I hope to get from next Thursday when my connection migrates to idnet, that the tools and other facilities included in the package are pretty impressive to.
I understand a little more why the idnetters are a happy bunch.
Great news, Bob, I know what to tell people in future, thanks.
I thought your blog was pretty boring, though. ;)
Most blogs are!
Ah, you've read mine then. ;D
