Fruit-Emu e-mail addresses

[duplu]

If we were to start to offer e-mail addresses (ie, joebloggs@fruit-emu.com) with access both via the web, ie, similar to hotmail (although without the bells and whistles) and also with access via pop3 (ie, through outlook express and thunderbird) how much would you be willing to pay?

At this stage this is just an idea and would depend on how much interest there was. Some sort of charge is necessary as it is not feasible to give e-mail addresses to all users.

How about making it a 'site donator' privilege?

I mean say donate £5, get an email addy, couple of other things?

Just an idea

Oops, I see thats the whole point of the poll

I would edit my post but can't so I've had to double post :O

I agree it should be a privelege, but at what level? For all donators or of a particualr level?

Sorry bout that, also I can't vote in this poll :S - I says 'you may not vote in this poll' or something similar!

Anyway, I change my mind, I think £10 should get the emails. Reason basically being that if you made it £5 you would have many more people to give addresses too, and it could be a nightmare to sort out

I think at any level of donating duplu....If a member is committed enough to realise that the running of this site isn't free, and it comes from your pocket..Yet they do donate a mail address may be considered a kind of thanks from the Admin.

You cannot afford to give everbody a t-shirt, yet to provide the resources to a few gig of Emulations that people who are unaware of this site pay for on auction sites is in it's own right enough to want to keep it up.

I must admit I personally didn't realise @fruit-emu.com was compatable with POP3, i'm with AOL at present which isn't, i'll sure be altering my config's...So AOL members something to savour over?
