gomo said:I realize I am not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to computers, but I don't see "free e-mail" from elitefitness. When I tried to open an account I was told to pay 24.00 dollars slashed to 11.97 per annum. While I wrote a check and mailed it off anyway, I would still like to know where the free mail is just out of curiosity![]()
Still a great deal.... but I am open to learning what I missed....
Thanks....
ORGANON CANON said:I'm having a problem with my elite mail. I recently have switched to Internet explorer from Netscape. Internet explorer is not letting me acces my account. I type in my name, then it brings me to the password page but all it ever shows is a grey box covering most of the screen. The little box for entering your password never shows up.
Can anybody help? I am really going to be backed up on e-mails now![]()
Riker29 said:Sadly, Elitefitness's mail system uses the Hushmail engine ...... hence all of Hushmail's problems come along with it.
Hushmail is frequently down and has problems.
Hushmail is very picky about what version of JVM you have on your Windoze system.
Hushmail will NOT work on Macs (unless you use something like Virtual PC). This sucks.
I love this site, I wish George the best from in his business, but basically, what you are paying for is the Elitfitness domain name as part of your e-mail address. All of Hushmail's problems come along with the service.
I think getting an e-mail addy such as that is cool, and great for whoever wants one. But if you are NOT using the correct flavor of Windoze, or if you happen to be one of the many many millions of Mac users, you are out of luck.
Too bad they cannot somehow use the ziplip engine - that works much better actually.

Try upgrading to the latest version of Explorer. If this does not help, just give us a call on Monday.
Riker29 said:Sorry Geore, let not get into anti-Mac basing - ok? You'll lose.
Maybe the reason you see so little traffic is becuase you don;t address Mac issue and Netscape issues that much. Focus on PeeCees and Int Explorer and guess what customer ramain around ...... ?????? any ideas?
Besides .... being part of the "mases" does not hold much weight with me and many of your customer base. Telling a bro on here that he has a body that is more fit than maybe 75% of the population is not too much of a compliment. Tellling a 3woman she has a better proportion that the average US female, who is 5'4" and 143 lbs, is not a compliment, or much of a goal for that matter.
Claiming that some segement of your customer base is not worth addressing becuase it only represents 15-20 of web users does not seem to be much of a good business argument.
I drive a Porsche, by your logic, I should rive a Toyota becuase they sell more.
Make you decision George, that fine. I respect that. Make business choices. I was simply pointing out what is true in my post. Most people are well aware of the limitations of husmail, and I think the fact that Elite bascially just uses Hushmail should be a little more apparenet when your Elite-mail service is discussed.
And, please, this site is FULL of people who strive to be the exception. Quoting numbers and making claims that some percent is not worth addressing is maybe not the best move.
But do what you want, I respect that. Its your site.
