Hi,
I posted this message in another forum and it still holds true.
I've been checking this zwallet out, and if you want some reviews go to yahoo.com and run zwallet through their search engine.
Apparently they do pay, but the payout is very little. I remember alladvantage.com, I think I was making $20 every other month. They will pay but not enough to earn a living on. Here's an article I found that tells how much they actually pay. Source:

You'll Never Fill Your Wallet With ZWallet
Ah, Paid Email!
So just about everyone has signed up for paid email at one time or another. You get emails, click on a link and receive a measly sum for doing so. Well, Zwallet has taken that to an all new level. An all new low, that is.
The Premise…
The basic idea behind ZWallet is simple enough. You sign up for an email account with them, and they will pay you a small amount (roughly 0.2 cents, or $0.002) for each and every email you read in that account.
And like many other “Paid to” sites, you can make more money if you refer people. The Zwallet website has a “referral calculator” where you can calculate how much you can make. You fill in how many people you will refer, how many people your referred people will refer (on average – a guesstimate if you like), and you state how many emails each of you is going to read on a daily basis. When you open the page, some default numbers are already filled in, with a large sum of money listed at the bottom. But if you fill it out in a realistic manner (come on, you are not going to get 20 referrals, and if you do, not each and every one of those 20 are going to get 20!), then you will see that there isn’t much to be made, even if you are reading a hundred emails a day.
My Idiocy
I thought that sounded like a great deal, I even went so far as to tell some of my friends to start sending emails for me to my Zwallet email address. I signed up at some Yahoo! Groups I was interested in and left the setting at individual emails.
I took time out of my day almost every day to read all the emails in my account. Sometimes I had a lot, but I always tried to read as many as I could and delete the ones I couldn’t read.
Occasionally I couldn’t access my account. I could sign in and see how many emails I had (or at least I could see how much my account was over my limit of 2Mb), but when I clicked on the button to take me to my inbox, it would take forever to load and eventually go to a “This page cannot be displayed” page. When this happened, I usually had to wait until the next day before I could access my account, and the number of emails in my account grew and grew.
Eventually I got to the point where I couldn’t get into my account at all. That was two or three months ago. I have tried many times to get in and clear out my emails, but I never can. I only had about $3-4 in my account, and I realize now that all that effort certainly wasn’t worth it.
I even managed to refer two people. Now I feel bad for them. And it’s all my fault.
Bounce!
Something I noticed when I checked my emails on a daily basis was that I received my emails in a strange order. At some points I was reading emails that arrived more than a week late. Many emails never arrived at all.
In fact, the Zwallet email system is so unreliable, that many sites will not let you use a Zwallet account when you are signing up. The whole Zwallet idea might not be so bad if you could actually use it as an email address. But you can’t. The only people who are actually going to use it aren’t the ones who are just going to use it for email, it’s going to be people like me who are just signing up and reading massive amount of emails per day just to make a few cents.
