I have been having to use MM webmail for a few weeks now, and it would take too long to describe all the problems it has had. It's faster to say that it occasionally sends and receives mail.
I finally spoke to a MM rep who looked at my account and said I had too many messages, spread across numerous folders. He said MM becomes erratic and doesn't work well when you have more than 2,000 messages.
I'm kind of pissed right now because I use e-mail as a way to journal, and I lost a very long e-mail I had written and sent to myself.
When MM webmail does work, it looks slick. But I much more trust Gmail as it autosaves drafts, etc, and generally "just works."
I have suffered through MM for so long all for the sake of not having to change my e-mail address.
I am now composing my e-mails in text edit and then pasting them into MM before I send them so I don't worry about it being lost.
I personally think for the money, Apple should do better than this. They should contract out the back end server stuff to Google!
