http://webmail.plix.com

How it Works

The UltraPlix mail server will automatically eliminate all email that it absolutely determines to be SPAM. These 100% verified Spam emails will never reach your inbox. There is some email that you may receive from legitimate sources that have the characteristics of Spam and may be tagged as such. UltraPlix will tag the Subject field of these types of messages with “SPAM?” to let you know that the message has the characteristics associated with Spam. This message will be routed to a “Spam” folder in your email program for your review at your leisure. Since Spammers constantly change their methods, there are some messages that cannot be positively identified that will go to your inbox. For information on how to deal with these messages CLICK GO!

 

Virus infected emails are stripped of the virus and the now virus-free email is passed on to you with a "VIRUS?" tag in the subject field.

You will be given a new email address. For example, if your old email address was "myemail@plix.com" or "myemail@plixtel.com", your new email will be "myemail@ultraplix.com". We will forward all email from your old email address to your new email address for 7 days. This means that you have 7 full days to notify everyone that your address has changed.
