Which Free Email Services do you use

[muckshifter]

I've only listed the top 3, I know there are others but I'm not really interested in the more obscure offerings.

My vote ... Gmail
Gmail is the Google approach to email, chat and social networking. Practically unlimited free online storage allows you to collect all your messages, and Gmail's simple but very smart interface lets you find mail precisely and see it in context without effort. POP and powerful IMAP access bring Gmail to any email program or device.

What are, in your oppinion, the pros & cons of your particular choice, if you know that is.

Multichoice, tick all three if you use them, but let me hear what your prefered choice is ... thank you.

Gmail - it's just so easy.

 

[EvanDavis]

G-mail for banks and important stuff. Y-mail for Facebook and forums and general cr*p

 

[Anon_F]

Yahoo for most things & Gmail for business/work.
And a few obscure ones for IT related stuff.

I use all three... but my preferred email client is actually Windows Mail.

Of the other three, which are mainly used for receiving mail, (I rarely send anything from them) I like Gmail best, because the layout is quite good. Yahoo is my least favourite, because I dislike it's "cramped" style (probably just me...)

All three are good at separating-out spam, so no quibbles about that.

So why do I prefer WM? I think I just find it more "convenient." It's right there on my desktop and I don't need to go through the palaver of signing-in if the webmails are being security conscious. Again, that's just me, I know that security is actually a very GOOD thing.

Gmail and the one provided by PC Review ( Thank you Ian)
I have setup my own domain and have my business email's routed through that.

I use Communikate to monitor my business communications. CommuniKate uses advanced voice response technology to let you and your callers use simple voice commands to manage communications and stay in touch. It's like having a personal assistant to answer your calls, handle voicemail, faxes and e-mails, schedule meetings, conference calls and more without the expense of an answering service or full-time employee.

I use Talk21.com for everyday stuff and outlook for my ISP email account

Been using these for many years far longer than Gmail has been around!

 

[V_R]

So what happens where you wanna move ISP's?

 

[crazylegs]

just import my emails over into another account..Nuffin to it...it easy peasy..

 

[V_R]

Ah, you dont use your ISP email for online stuff then? Like forums, banking and alike?

I'd never use my ISP's mail service for that very reason..

 

[crazylegs]

No just use it for family and friends..

 

[haileykrantz]

I prefer G-mail because I find more secure
