Is Bigstring self destructing the free email accounts?
Bigstring Corp. in 2006 developed Bigstring to provide Bigstring email allowing the user control, security and privacy over their transmitted email. BigString has provided free email accounts messaging service that allowing users to send, recall, erase, self-destruct and secure email correspondence. In March 2009, Bigstring launched PeopleString Corp. and has maintained holdings of about 30% of their stock. Similar features of bigstring email technology has been incorporated into PeopleString free email accounts. BigString Then Initially Bigstring email permitted users to send recallable, erasable and self-destructing emails, photos, and video. BigStrings patent-pending technology rendered emails, pictures and video non-printable or non-savable - all which could be accomplished before or after the recipient read the correspondence and regardless of what Internet service provider was being used. The emails could even be edited after having been read by the recipient! BigString Now I've been a heavy user of the free email account Bigstring provides from almost their beginning and had been quite satisfied with the offerings. However, recently I've noticed significant changes in the functionality as well as a decline in the reliability of Bigstrings free email accounts. Sign ups for new users appears to be closed as the option to register is conspicuously missing from the homepage. Previously I could always rely on my Bigstring email to actually expire, self destruct or reflect any changes made at the recipients end. That is no longer true. While my recallable email (self-destructing email) is sent and arrives as it should - they now never show changes I've made to the recipient. I've also experienced several emails remaining available and readable to the recipient following expiration at my end. That's not how it's supposed to work! Other recent changes of the Bigstring free email accounts including the absence of video email. With sign ups to the world's coolest email apparently closed there aren't many Bigstring alternatives (free email accounts with email tracking and self destructive features) available. Fortunately however - this technology is merged (for the most part) with Peoplestring free email accounts. The following are currently available features of the PeopleString free email accounts with 2GB of storage. PeopleString free email accounts
With the recallable email option selected the sender can either place a time limit or a view limit on the transmitted email. The recallable email will then self-destruct after that view or time limit is reached. So far I've not had an email sent from my peoplestring free email account fail to self destruct or expire as it should. While the PeoplesString site claims that emails are able to be edited after being sent I've never seen even an option that would allow me to do so as I could with BigString email in days long past. The email tracking works exceptionally well in documenting the number of views and IP address of the recipient. So, whether you're looking for a BigString alternative, free email accounts, or email tracking with self destructing features - a PeopleString email account may be just what you're looking for!

Mohd Radi - PeopleString abruptly terminated the email service of the program on Sept. 20, 2012. They offered no reasoning and a 7-day notice.

do you know any other free e-mail providers?

Isn't that OK? After all it's not nice to send someone something that you have programmed to self-destruct. You wouldn't do it with a letter, why do it with an electronic one? Didn't you mean the message in the first place? (I suppose the only exception I can think of is professional spies!) But it's not the element of morals and law concerned with disposing of something which may disturb someone that is so concerned with electronic messages - it's that, like a traditional letter or message, you are giving a gift. You cannot demand a traditional letter back or blow it up legally as it is not your possession any more. It was received in good faith. There is no difference with electronic communications.

It is clear that bigstring and peoplestring shut down behind US government pressure. Imagine people having the ability to take back, erase, self destruct and trace emails; and then to be able to race the IP addresses of everyone who reads your email. Bigstring basically caved in and bent over

Did anyone ever make any $$ off of Peoplestring? Also, WHY did they close their doors? They had a unique email system that no one else seemed to duplicate with recallable email.

They shut down due to government pressure. They basically caved, or were bought out by them.

I just remembered that I might have backed up some emails to my old bigstring account... and now I need them for a sexual harrassment lawsuit. Does anyone know if it would be at all possible to still get a hold of them? Or did the company delete everything in September 2012...? Any help would be so so appreciated.
