  Why do Mail-Center.com Personal Mail Services cost $30 per year?
Mail-Center.com does not generate revenue from advertising and is supported solely by its users. Therefore, we focus on what our users want, not advertisers. Mail-Center.com is for those people who are just plain sick of all the ads and spam on the Internet. At only $30 per year, our mail services are a great value.

  Why shouldn't I use one of those free services like Hotmail or Yahoo Mail?
Rather than providing a lackluster free email service that spams the heck out of you with advertising, Mail-Center.com offers the convenience of feature rich, faster WebMail without the banner ads, AND includes POP3/IMAP4 access so that you can also send and receive email with your preferred email program. You get more features, a simple WebMail interface, more speed, and no advertising.

  How can Mail-Center.com help me fight spammers? (Filters)
Mail-Center.com does not take lightly the sending of junk email (aka "Spam") through our system. The TERMS OF SERVICE strictly forbids sending unsolicited email and we terminate all reported accounts that are in violation of the TERMS OF SERVICE. If you do receive unsolicited email, originating from Mail-Center.com, report it to postmaster@Mail-Center.com Remember to include a complete copy of the message, including the full message headers.

You also have the protection with our Filters feature that allows you to reject mail from any address. Filters guard your Inbox against unsolicited email, generally known as Spam or bulk mail.
