Services people are running
This is a collection of "services" available on CGHMN. It's intended as a bootstrapping point until we get something to help with discovery.
Are you running anything you'd like people to know about? Please add it here, or email PurpleJillybeans and she'll add it for you.

You can run your own mail server on a .retro domain. If you would prefer not to (or want a backup), there are some open mail services (separate from general "hosting").
dotMac Public Email Service (à la @mac.com emails)
Webmail: available - Supports Safari on OSX 10.4 (tested) and should work fine on most other browsers, as it's powered by SquirrelMail
HTTP: http://start.mac/webmail/
IMAP: start.mac
POP3: start.mac
SMTP: start.mac
Signup: Use your dotMac account. To get one, email ch0ccyra1n@start.mac
CGHMN Public Email Service (ala Hotmail/Yahoo/Gmail)
Webmail: available - Supports Internet Explorer 3 (in theory) as a minimum. IE5 on Win3.11 tested and verified working.
HTTP: http://cghmn-mail.retro
IMAP:: cghmn-mail.retro
POP3: cghmn-mail.retro
(both incoming and outgoing servers use the same address for POP/IMAP/SMTP)
NOTE: SSL is enabled but is not widely tested. Your mileage may vary. If you experience issues, just use insecure/plaintext modes for simplicity
