iName, a division of GlobeComm, introduced
a new Web-based e-mail solution that integrates several different e-mail
functions.
Available through iName Partner Sites the new services include forwarding to
other e-mail accounts, plus independent POP mailbox storage in addition to
basic Web-based e-mail functionality with personalized e-mail addressing.
In a statement, iName noted that it has accumulated “the largest block of
powerful e-mail specific domain names including: @mail.com, @email.com,
@post.com, @doctor.com, @lawyer.com, @engineer.com.” Says the
vendor: “Users with an iName e-mail address can keep their e-mail address for
life, regardless of whether they change jobs or ISPs.”

Switchboard, CMP.net, and Netscape, as well as several NFL teams. Users
at these sites can use the World Wide Web to read, write, and store e-mail,
forward messages to an e-mail address at work or home, set up separate e-mail
accounts under one Internet connection for other family members, or store
e-mail in a separate POP-3 message box.
