Best Free E-mail Provider

[PuppyforChrist]

What is the best free e-mail provider for you?

Something besides the ever popular Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail I mean.

I'm just curious as to if you guys think there are others out there that are better?

i've used softhome.net for a while - you get some spam with it but it's not too bad considering what you get with hotmail - the best part is it's POP so you can check it thorugh your email program

Have you tried xmail? I can't post the link as I'm a newbie without the requisite number of posts to have that privilege, but I'm sure if you "seek, you will find!" Built-in messenger, voice mail, create & store your own web pages, net2phone, HTML & plain text messaging, and much more....all for free. It may not have the storage space of gmail, but it has a lot more features!

Stay away from the mail.com domain. I have had a free email account with them for years and the email addresses are awsome. The service, reliability,features and huge amount of popups make the usability very poor unless you upgrade to a paid account. I have a hard time paying for 30mb of storage

Yes there is better. You have your Good Inbox.com, Gmail, and Fusemail then you have the bad Yahoo! and Hotmail. I hope this helps!

Hello,
While not free, activator mail is by far the best IMO. I have used it since 2001, have received *zero* spam/virii. It's twelve or fourteen bucks a year. Fusemail is no longer free by the way...it's twelve a year now.

if you want to PAY for an email address, get one through your internet provider

exactly....
let's say, I have an Earthlink account I pay $18.00 a month...it doesn't make sense to pay $14.00 (a year) for a seperate email provider. I guess when you pay for one, it's more likely to be spam-free. If you get a FREE email provider, expect to get spam. It WOULD be nice to have it for FREE and be spam-free, too!

Most ISP mailing systems limit what you can send. They also put limits on your attachments. Worse than Yahoo or Hotmail.

Fusemail does charge now. Sorry! Also I recommend getting your own domain and get some hosting then you have your own address. I hope this helps.

domain & hosting options usually aren't that cheap - certainly not along the lines of $14/yr as was mentioned above.

However, as I stated earlier, softhome.net are pretty good - and are POP so you can use your email program to download/send - which is much faster and no ads or popups etc to deal with. I think they have a size limit, but they're free!

 

[mc2phat]

It does "make sense" to me. I *PAY* for exactly that..no spam, no virii. I do not use the e-mail services provided by my ISP. With activatormail, I don't have to constantly mess with setting up filters and blocking spam, it's done before I ever see it. I started with activatormail years ago because I was overseas and didn't have an ISP. Fusemail and activatormail both started out as free services by the way.

Yeah, Yahoo is really perfect but I'm using another email services provider. You also create Email Marketing Campaign.

I use Outlook. Perfect for me. Yes I get SPAM ocassionally but it is worth it.
