ZillaMail

So about a month ago I set up email’s for my niece and nephew, whom are 7, and 10. I wanted to make sure they would get NO SPAM at all and found Zoobuh.com. It seemed great, they could only email and get email from the people the parent put on the list. Well I did not see that it was only free for a month TRIAL. Damn them. So now I spent the better part of the night searching for a alternative free one. I found after a looong search something that seem’s almost as good. Zilladog.com which you can create an email for your kid. You have to register with your info first, and then the next page asks for the username and password you give to your kid. Got more than one kid? Re-Register with your SAME INFO (THIS IS IMPORTANT THIS IS WHAT LINKS ALL YOUR KIDS TO YOUR PARENT CONTROL ACCOUNT), and then again enter their username and password on the next page. You’ll get an email with their info and with your parent info. Then you can login and set up their contact list. If you got more than one kid, set up all the email’s first and then use the Add Contact to all kids link under the Manage ki. You do not want to have to enter the same contacts multiple times. If you enter contacts this way and later add another kid, then you’ll have to manually add them for that kid, so make all the kids first. It’s a bit more complicated useface than the kids version of Zoobuh but it’s still simple enough for them to send and read email.

Another difference is that with Zilla they can send email to anyone they got an email address for by typing it in, BUT still they can only receive from those on the contact’s list so that’s not really a big problem.

    Is there a way to get Zillamail free? I thought it was free, but it’s asking for $9.95 before I can complete registration. Was this your experience too?

    Well after using it for a bit, it did want me to pay so we stopped using it. In the end I set up a personal domain I purchased and made email accounts for the kids that I had full access to. They in the end though were still to young to really use email well, so for now they are not using email.
