Back in the summer MySpace launched its own email service called MySpace Mail. The company has now announced that it has surpassed 15 million accounts for that service.
"Adoption by our users has experienced phenomenal growth, well exceeding initial expectations," says MySpace’s Rajit Marwah. "At launch we set a goal of 10 million accounts created within a year – we knew we were on to something when we surpassed this goal in less than a quarter."

No Comments »Last week, rumor had it that MySpace was about to launch their long-awaited MySpace email service. It didn’t happen last week, but it’s starting to happen now. The company is rolling it out. It could be several weeks until you have access to MySpace Mail, but trust that it is on the way if you don’t already have it.
The offering makes for an interesting move on MySpace’s part, and one that could be a huge success or a huge flop. It’s no secret that MySpace has felt the pressure of competition from Facebook, which continues to gain users left and right.

MySpace Mail, a new email service, is supposed to launch tomorrow.
Yes, just like you can register for email addresses ending in @gmail.com, @yahoo.com, and @hotmail.com, @myspace.com will become an option, too, according to Staci D. Kramer. Which might sound like overkill, given the existence of those alternatives and MySpace’s built-in messaging system, but the idea has some strong points.
