You should consider paragraph 9.1 of the service agreement which grants Fuser the right to review and even delete your third party service content.

So I was one of 4 original developers for fuser – I’ve recently moved on to other things, but to answer DUTCH DUDE – nope the messages are NOT stored by fuser. If you delete it from the underlying service you won’t see a copy of it in fuser.

And I sit in front of a linux box 40+ hours a day too (hell I spent time developing the product from a linux box) But I won’t be using it either Martin…. what a shame.

Nope, it doesn’t work on Linux. I was thinking “Hey, I’ll try it out,” but I got this error message:
Upgrade your browser to one of our supported browsers. On Windows, we support Internet Explorer 6 and up, Firefox 1.5 and up. On Mac OSX, we support Firefox 2.0.0.6 and up, Safari 2.0 and up.

So, since I spend 40 hours each week in front of a Linux machine, I guess I’m not gonna try Fuser.

I fully agree with Dutch Dude. In addition, I can not imagine to give ony tiny(!) company all my passwords.

Why not use a local aggregator? There is some good software available. What I use is something inbetween. I let the iMacros Firefox add-on automate all the logins for me, so with one click I can open all email/facebook/… accounts in the morning and navigate directly to the inbox. And since my macro (but not the master password!!!) is stored on del.icio.us this work on every PC that I use.

I for one cannot believe anyone would like give up everything to a third party (especially with servers in the US, which fall under the PATRIOT Act). Why would you trust complete strangers with:
1) all your username/password combinations
2) all your email (for I bet they store it)

Seriously, this must be one of the worst ideas ever.

Now they (Fuser.com) have to compete with the established email web sites in functionality and User Experience. Not to mention re-inventing the wheel.

Their chances are better than none iff they provide something that not every email servce provider has.

Just signed up and tried Fuser. So, I have scads of email accounts that I’ve consolidated into gmail but I’m always looking for a better mousetrap and if Fuser would also let me track Facebook, I’ll give it a whirl.

Sign up was easy. Set up was fairly easy although Fuser did seem to get “stuck” twice when it was trying to verify an account. Facebook was configured quite well.

So, I think I get the upside of Fuser in that I’m really looking at a common interface for all my email accounts, and I’m really using each different email account. But, by consolidating all my mail on gmail, I get to handle my mail as a complete and total “gestalt” rather than individual boxes. Also, the interface seemed slow but that might be the result of all of us kicking the tires after reading the posting.

Then, there’s the issue about an addressbook. Thanks to a couple of good hacks, I’ve been able to consolidate my addressbooks into gmail. I haven’t found any sort of addressbook feature in fuser … yet.

It’s a neat service that’s has a subtle benefit that some people may need. For me, gmail still rocks.
