Maybe you do have to have exactly 100 (either read or unread) neomails. But, if they keep recommending you clear your neomails, then why are they encouraging people to do this...if a lot of people try this, the servers really might crash! :o

*blows al lthe dust and cobwebs out of her inbox* well, I guess it's safe to say I won't be getting the av any time soon lol

Sat Jun 26, 2004 2:21 am

Number of messages: 101


The lag is so overwhelming, I can't even get the av. All I get is "Cannot Find Server."

Part of me says it may be connected to the webmail that's in beta (it's connected to the portal. )

I don't know, I've been lurking the neoboards, and the people with the av are saying it's for having 100+ neomails in you inbox. No one's said if their status matters (read or unread), but we all know how reliable info off the boards is... :roll:

I heard that you have to have an account at http://webmail.neopets.com which you have to pay for. But I don't know if this is true or not.

What I heard from the neoboards is that you could get it from having 100 neomails, but snarkie said they changed it becasue it was slowing the site down way to much, and from what i here you now have to signup for webmail... alothough it's not letting anyone sign up. Is anyone here an alphatester for the toolbar? do you have the option to sign up? It's hard to tell if it's a lie or not...

"It's not retired. The way to get it was changed because everyone flooding everyone else was slowing down the database."


From Snarkie on the neoboards. :(

This is so not fair! I just want the cool av!! :x

Well I found (lurking on the neoboards) the link to signup for the webmail, but it asks for a credit card. There's a thiry day trial, but i'm not giving them my card number just to see if i can get an av like that. It's not that great. I thought the webmail was going to be free like neopets. I guess not.

Ugh, I agree. The reason I didn't mind neopets doing the crazy plushie production and sponsor games is because it kept the site free. It seems like more and more things are starting to go the other direction.

With so many free webmail services available, I don't see why anyone would pay for it, now that I think about it. It's just a run of the mill mail service with neopets stickers slapped on it. Why would anyone pay for that? Seriously.

Oh, and premium.neopets.com/alphausers.aspx is the link, if anyone is interested. It just doesn't seem worth it to me.

You are now eligible to use 'Neomail Addict' as an avatar on the NeoBoards!


Avatar No. 95!


Just send a Neomail that says : "I love Neomail" to anyone. :D

Good. I am glad that you can get it for free :D Av 66 for me.

It's a cute av, but now I'm still kind of mad that the neopets webmail service isn't free. Ah well, I'll just let it go. The sites still free, good enough for me. :) Really, I think they should ditch the entire portal/webmail thing anyway.

Neopets is still moving super slow...

Avatar three-nine. Once I get forty and have a nice even number I'll stop. :D

Oh, and the reigning avatar champion is off his podium :o
