Access E-mail the Way That Works for You

With POP3 standard e-mail, you can access your CrossPaths.net e-mail account from any standard e-mail program, such as Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express, Netscape Messenger, Eudora, and others.

And with Web mail access, you can check your CrossPaths.net e-mail account from anywhere with Web access, even if they're not on CrossPaths!  [Back to Top]

Protection from E-mail Viruses

All incoming messages through the CrossPaths.net mail system are scanned for viruses.  If a virus is detected, it is cleaned out and a message is sent to both the sender and the recipient notifying them.

Our server updates its virus definitions every 30 minutes, so you can be assured protection from the latest e-mail threats, and since it's all server-side, you don't have to install any special program or settings to use it.  [Back to Top]

No More "You've Got Mail Mail Mail Mail"

Spam - junk e-mail - is a growing problem on the Internet.  Despite efforts to curb spamming, junk e-mail senders continue to grow at an alarming rate.  In fact, as of March 2003, over 80% of all messages hitting our mail servers have been found to be Spam!

Measures are taken to stop junk e-mail, but spammers continue to find ever-inventive ways of getting messages to your Inbox.

To help reduce the number of junk mail messages making it to a CrossPaths mail account, we include anti-spam service with every CrossPaths.net e-mail account.  With CrossPaths.net Spam Control, messages are sent through a special content-sensitive scanner, removing likely Spam messages based on adjustable criteria.  These messages are then held in your Quarantine for up to 14 days, during which time you can view them and optionally either remove or deliver them to your Inbox.

Of course, you can always disable Spam filtering if you like, but even then we have systems in place to prevent common Spam measures like e-mail harvesting and Spam attacks, keeping your account as safe as possible.
