If you look long enough, you will always find a rare case that justifies the use of webmail. But it is precisely in this rare case that the advertising banner is not a problem because it only appears once every leap year.

It is precisely in these cases, which are not that rare, that advertising is extremely annoying. Especially when links to spam and other advertising garbage are promoted.

@waegi, you’re doing something wrong. I always receive regular discounts when I take out or adjust a new subscription.

I am of the same opinion. It’s not just that Swisscom has the most expensive fees. I find it outrageous to now have the courage to charge money for a service that was previously taken for granted. Are the fees no longer enough to pay for staff benefits? Or should this be a test of how much Swisscom can increase the fees little by little.

The heat of this thread reminds me of the discussion and outcry that went through the community when TV recording storage was limited to 2 years, including from me, btw 🙃

And today? Many have come to terms with it, at least I no longer see any fiery treatises on the subject. Maybe some people have moved on to the competition because of this.

What I want to say is that tempers will calm down again this time, especially since there are workarounds, as already shown several times in this thread.

The next ‘storm’ is already lurking around the corner, when we will have to pay to skip the TV commercials.

Until then, we should try to be friendly with each other so that we don’t scare away the helpful (now probably thick-skinned) experts in this community…

I would try with Firefox and uBlock Origin.

@waegi

Then you no longer see the advertising, but instead you see an empty area.

In my opinion there is no way around a mail client (Outlook, Thunderbird,…).

I don’t have any free space. By the way, Outlook is no longer ad-free - the free version now also has advertising and you have to pay for the ad-free status.

@waegi exciting, the hint with Firefox and uBlock. I’ll try that…

I’m currently using Google Chrome, Adblock plus and pihole. I managed to get the webmail to suddenly disappear without any advertising and that old empty space at the top. But I was never able to reproduce it.

@waegi

There is nothing that is really free, the longer the time, the more “free” offers are financed through advertising.

But there are very cheap, ad-free offers. With a Microsoft 365 Family subscription, 6 family members who don’t even have to live in the same household have an annual license for 5 devices each. That means 30x Word, Excel, Power Point, Outlook,… for CHF 110 per year. Each person also receives 1 TB of cloud storage.

Ignorance and laziness do not protect against punishment.

Anyone who wants to get an idea.

Above is the webmail view from a web host, below from Swisscom (including corruption of the German language):

By corruption do you mean the gender asterisk? This is actually outdated again. This only covers females and males. Not everyone else.

For example, you could write “Dear users, this is….blabla, etc.”, then it applies to everyone and can still be read without any problems…

@Glotzologe

Please limit yourself to the topic of Swisscom. The gender star is now omnipresent and accepted in modern society.

We don’t have political discussions here. Whether you agree with a gender star or not is not the topic of this forum.

Thanks!

@Glotzologe

The screenshot of a slightly more modern design says absolutely nothing about the functionality and stability.

We find it unreasonable that the end customer has to accept the advertising if they are not prepared to pay!

It borders on blackmail.

But during the pandemic we were able to learn a lot from the state about how it works to coerce customers or citizens!

If you collect your email via a computer and no email program is available, you can e.g. Use Thunderbird and it has a lot of options that WEB-Mail doesn’t have and also no advertising.

Hello @Teimisso40, the advertising is only displayed in webmail. If you work with a mail client, you won’t see these. See also tip from @WalterB. Kind regards, Raphael

For the sake of peace, I think it would be better if we limit ourselves to the topic of advertising and webmail and not have any political discussions. Especially not about the pandemic.

Thanks!
