ComputerWorld reports that MobileMe users (Apple’s replacement to .Mac) were quite upset due to the fact the e-mail service had a four-day outage. In the world of e-mail, days can seem like years and this is especially true for mobile users who send tons of e-mail.
To the best of my knowledge I have never known any e-mail service to be down for 4 days in a row; this is absolutely unheard of.
And it’s even more rare that paid e-mail service (which MobileMe is) has this kind of outage. Ouch. If you’re e-mail is free then it might take the sting away a bit… but when you pay for it? That’s just bad all around.
It would seem that Apple users are better off using free Gmail.
