Anyone here used Onebox as your main e-mail account, and used the forwarding
option to read the e-mail in one's mail reader (OE in my case)?

I thought of doing that, as Onebox has some cool features, such as being
able to hear your e-mail read to you on the phone.

But today my e-mail coming into Onebox has not been forwarded to my pop3
account, as I have it set up to do. That hasn't been working for hours. I
e-mailed their tech support (can't find a phone tech support number), and
just got a vague answer about sometimes there are glitches on the Internet.
For the whole day today, the forwarding doesn't seem to be working.

Now I am seriously reconsidering the idea of using Onebox for the e-mail
address that I give out.

Who else has used this service regularly, including the forwarding? How
reliable have you found it?

Thank you,
Mike
