WALLA ME!

I love writing reviews about 1GB email account services. I cannot understand people who still use those 2MB ones, therefore, this kind of articles are for those kinds of people to find out about such services!

Firstly I’m most attracted to it’s clean, minimalist log in screen. There’s nothing but the cute Walla Me (I have no idea what walla means!) logo and the log in boxes. Bravo to that! That’s giving Gmail a run for their money!

The inbox page is really simple as well. It would have been PURRFECT if not for the little ad banner on top. But anyways, it’s very small and not so flashy as found in some other sites. In one glance, you’d find that there are very minimum features too. Contacts need to be added manually or after you sent somebody an email. Search features are not particularly fantastic. I tried sending and receiving a few trial emails, and search for it, and it turns out all the emails received and sent with the keyword. Now, that’s bad coz when I have 999Mb of emails and I want to find a specific email from a specific person, it will turn out even the emails that I sent to the person. Quite messy! Another thing is when you receive emails with picture attachments, the picture shows up instantly instead of being a link. Now this takes up bandwidth time and gives people the ‘shock’ treatment. You see, in Gmail, all attachments shows as links so I don’t have to see pics I don’t wanna see! There’s just some people that likes to send me gross stuff. But in Walla Me, as you can see in the first snapshot above, the pic of the cute cat shows up immediately. Bad point.

Overall, it is better than most email accounts I’ve used, after all it is 1GB. If I don’t have Gmail, this would be the mail I would use. So since Gmail isn’t intending to launch to the public anytime soon, Walla is the next best thing!
