You have something to discuss, but your team members are scattered in different locations, working on different timezone… One good thing I like about discussion through email is, a loose questions get the feedback from those who has time for a quick reply. This can in fact, save time in face-to-face meeting, yet proven to be more productive. For sure, this might not work in all cases, especially if the team members are not used to this. This is an culture to nurture.

The one and only reason - this can only happen when you have lost the ownership of your domain name (the address after ‘@’). Therefore, remember to renew your domain name.
If you are using Free webmail service such as Gmail or Yahoo Mail. Theoretically, you have no rights to their domain name, you can be removed from owning any mailbox on violation of their terms.

TM, in their official press release described the act to block all 3rd party as one of the step to fight Spam. Following this, most of the companies in Malaysia who is using Streamyx broadband are affected after switching to smtp-proxy.tm.net.my. Problem including email delay and lost.
One of the latest updates I have received is, email delivered / delayed through smtp-proxy.tm.net.my is also marked as Spam by many major free email service provider including Yahoo Mail!

For those who wish to change to new corporate-branded email address, but still wish to receive a copy of email sent to your jaring mailbox, you can write officially and fax to Jaring, together with your request printed on your letterhead. I have done once, and they responce and it works! Just to share, I am not too sure if are still doing this for their users?

TM recently blocked all external SMTP except their own has forced everyone to switch and start using their SMTP. They claimed that this is one way for them to flight against Spam.
I am not sure to what extend this can help flighting Spam, but it has becoming a bottleneck now. The TM new rules block only port 25. Therefore, Spammer can still change their SMTP to different port and continue the so-called spamming activities.
But, true is - TM’s SMTP was no longer able to handle the increasing load of email delivering requests. Email delay problem occurs from 5 hours to a day.
Check your SMTP, if it points to smtp-proxy.tm.net.my, then you might want to consider printing out your email and send by Post, it could anytime faster :)

1. Make sure your mailbox space can cope with this. When come to estimating the storage space you should have at least, do include days when you don’t access your email, especially during your holidays.
2. Handling your email become a nightmare when averagely you have at least more than 100 emails a day. Email clients or webmail without Conversation view can be a setback now. Slow webmail can cause serious problem too! Keyboard shortcut of email clients can move you further with extreme increase of email loads!
3. Reducing your email. This is the hard part! Online business is about Testing. New marketing plan and features on your website, are introduced in a faster pace. Testing means you are learning everyday. Without sharing of email, this can be a problem.
