  (Asked by: username_0 on 2013-09-14)
  
  I've had some bad experiences with Chess.com recently. What are some good alternative websites for correspondence chess? I'm particularly looking for:
  
  1. No time limit
  2. Email notifications when it is your turn
  3. Ideally, you should be able to make moves by replying to notification emails (with a simple expression like e2e4)
  
  Thoughts?
