Rant On The Myspace E-mail System
Now you know if you read my blog regularly that I don’t have the higest respect for Myspace. I have been using Myspace more and the issues of it’s flaw just become more glaring with me over time.
Issues:
1. There is no method for saving e-mails. None, other then copy and paste - which is a huge pain in the ass. While I do have the first snippet saved in a gmail notification I would prefer to have the whole message saved off and archiving.
2. After two weeks it deletes your sent messages - WTF? Why can’t I decide to clean out my inbox - if you want to clean them out why don’t you give me the option to automatically export a copy out for myself in my home e-mail account?
3. Notifications - theoretically it wouldn’t take much more bandwidth to send me the whole message - I have no problem logging into your site to reply to email - but send me the complete email and not the first 140 characters.
I understand e-mail is not a priority for them, and not a focus of the site. I understand they are a walled garden. Dammit though, with the user base some interoperability with their e-mail would be nice.
I hate you Myspace.
