Hey all -
Email is a very important means of communication during the med school application process. I've heard a few horror stories here at SDN about people missing interview offers because they use a hotmail, yahoo, or other free email account. I know some people use these sevices because they otherwise would not have access to email, especially when on the road (like at interviews). If this is you, then I would highly recommend getting a MyRealBox account (www.myrealbox.com).
Here's a blurb from their website:
MyRealBox is an Internet service based on Novell NetMail and eDirectory. The sole purpose of this site is to enable the NetMail engineering team to gain valuable information about how these products function in real-world high-volume situations. In essence, MyRealBox is a very large beta test site for NetMail. Many issues with NetMail are discovered and corrected through MyRealBox before they make their way into the commercially available product. Because of the testing nature of this site, service outages are to be expected from time to time as problems are discovered and diagnosed. We make every effort to minimize these outages; nevertheless, they do occur and are unpredicatable in nature. After a service outage, the result is usually a more stable and better service.
If you are uncomfortable with these service interruptions, please choose another email service. Click here for a list of commercial email providers using NetMail.
MyRealBox is a free E-mail service with no advertising powered by Novell NetMail.
You can send and receive E-mail anywhere from any Mac, PC or other device with an Internet connection.
If you change service providers, your E-mail address stays the same, keeping you in contact with your friends, family and associates.
Provides users with up to 10 MB of E-mail storage.
Fast and easy to use.
So, you've just found the perfect solution - a free E-mail address, total flexibility in terms of E-mail client and service provider, easy access wherever you are, whenever you want - all you need is a Mac, PC or any other device with an Internet connection.
Note: I have no affiliation or economic ties with Novell or MyRealBox - I just see it as a great service.
