Well...I just signed up, got the error message about the 10000 limit, buth there was also a link to my inbox. I clicked on my inbox and much to my surprise ended up in my inbox. I decided to send a test message and much to my surprise, it was sent and I received it in less than a minute. I am not holding my breath, but so far, so good.

I signed up. Sending mail works fine. Recieving mail on the other hand... sent one like an hour ago.. still hasn't shown up in my inbox yet.

edit: did some more testing... emails show up in my inbox within a few minutes of sending. Works like a charm!

Chances are, no matter what they say right now, they will start charging or placing massive ads sooner or later...

I can't seem to find a way to send attachments using aventuremail, although it accepts them OK. You cannot paste photos into the body of your message, either. There is no attachment method. It seems a bit buggy, I get an error page trying to move email from one file to another sometimes. I tried sending an email to the aventure account which contained a pasted part of an ebay page, it rejected that. Limited usefulness, so far. What good is it if you cannot send pics, attachments?
