4. Why can't I log in?

Coolkiwi.co.nz is an email address which you can use with any email account. It is not a webmail account in itself. CoolKiwi.com is our New Zealand Webmail Service with 1 Gigabyte FREE New Zealand webmail accounts. That might not sound like much, but Cool Kiwi Webmail users don't suffer the huge SPAM problem of many free global Webmail services, so they don't need unlimited free webmail storage.

With the Mail Plus version of Cool Kiwi Webmail you can get even more storage as well as a host of other benefits, for around $US2 per month.

5. How does coolkiwi.co.nz reduce SPAM?

The simple answer is all emails sent to coolkiwi.co.nz addresses are automatically filtered for SPAM and viruses by our mail servers before they are sent to your email account! We do this by blocking mail originating from machines that are running as open proxies, that are infected with known viruses, that are running on networks that support bulk email operations, and more. We also block attachments that contain viruses, and mail that fails to comply with various standard internet practices. We always request that the sending mail server send rejection letters to the sender, so they can see what the issue is (virus, etc), and contact us or the recipient (you) about the issue.

6. What does 'portable' mean?

Coolkiwi.co.nz email addresses are totally portable. What this means is that if you change your email service provider you can transfer your coolkiwi.co.nz email address across. So you don't have to notify your contacts of a new email address if you change email accounts. If you are in business you don't have to re-print your business cards and letterheads. Just let us know your new email account through the Cool Kiwi Contact Page and Cool Kiwi will link your coolkiwi.co.nz email address to any new email account you choose. And you can change the email account your email address links to up to 4 times per year for free.

7. How much storage space do I get for my emails and attachments?

Coolkiwi.co.nz is an email address which you can use with any email account. It is not an email account in itself. CoolKiwi.com is a New Zealand Webmail Service with 1 Gigabyte FREE New Zealand webmail accounts. That might not sound like much, but Cool Kiwi Webmail users don't suffer the huge SPAM problem of many free global Webmail services, so they don't need unlimited free webmail storage.

8. How can you give me all this for Free? What do you get out of it?

Each additional email address doesn't cost us much to provide due to economies of scale. We were tired of seeing big global companies controlling the New Zealand email address market and either allowing their users to be bombarded with SPAM or charging too much for the privilege of SPAM-free email accounts, so we decided to do something about it. We think New Zealanders deserve a uniquely Kiwi address-and automatic SPAM protection-regardless of which email account provider they choose to use. All we ask is you Create a Free profile upon Approval of your Coolkiwi.co.nz Free Email Address. Coolkiwi.co.nz receives about $1 for each free Profile registered and that's enough to defray the cost of providing the free service.
