Is anyone using the @chess.com email addresses? How do you find the experience? :)

I sent a test email to and from my account to check it worked, but apart from my alerts from this site I haven't used it for anything else yet.

 

It works very well, I think, although it does take a little while to open.

I tried it out, and it looks very nice. It takes about 5 seconds to load for me (I've got 8mbit cable). I usually use my company email for just about everything, but I am sure many people will like it, it seems better than Hotmail/Yahoo to me.

cool. the reason it takes a little bit to login is because it has to do an authenticated login directly from your account. i'll look into speeding up the process...

Yeah, I understand. The wait really isn't bad at all, but yeah the faster the better.

I have tried it and it looks nice. It takes a little too long to get it started IMO.

I like it very much, thank you. It is very convenient: you can visit one of your favoutite sites and at the same time see your email. Although 

almost every member of this site surely has their primary email, I think this email won't always be only a secondary or additional one. It is just a matter of time, I think.

It does take time to load. But I like it anyway. Using @chess.com email will show your friends that you like chess (as well as chess.com) very much, and it can also promote this site, i guess.

I like the little two sentence Chess.com ad it sends along at the bottom of the email to the sender. It is always good to be able to promote Chess.com while emailing.

Does it work with Macs?
I tried opening a test e-mail I sent to myself, and it downloads something called "parse.php" to my desktop, opens a new window, and then does nothing. Am I doing something wrong?

I use it as my primary e-mail.  I'm actually not that crazy about it, but I never have to log in to an account just to check my inbox, as I'm here constantly.  I think hotmail, gmail, etc., are better, but I don't really care.  It's a matter of convenience.

I've found a great use for it, a free, and an almost effortless to set up additional email address is always good to have.
