Best mail service

[emma_goldman]

So what's the best e-mail service? Quickest, most storage, etc. in your opinion.

Thanks. :)

I have yahoo right now, but it kind of sucks. Plus my friends have had cases of their account being deleted, atleast the activist ones. Lately mine has really been acting up.

[Taiga]

Yahoo sucks definitely. I use Mail.Ru. It's free, has good spam-filters and the storage capacity is unlimited. But it's only in Russian :(

www.gmail.com (http://www.gmail.com)

works great for me. It was weird to get used to at first... but you have loads of storage, practically infinite, lol. andd there's a gmail chat section, which from what I've been told, can't be traced because it's through a website and not a messenger.... ;)

I use my gmail far more than I use my hotmail addresses.


I have loads of invites if anyone wants one.

[LuXe]

I want one... But I dont have any to invite me :P

EDIT; Nevermind, a relative just invited me.

I've got loads of gmail accounts (and loads of invitations too) but the account I use most is at gmx.net. Free, 1GB storage, fast and reliable but the set up process is in German. Been using it for years.

[emma_goldman]

If someone would invite me that'd be great. :)

Thanks.

Check your PM ;)

I use gmail, I have a few accounts, v.easy to do.

Just send an invite to [email protected] (ie - make an address up) then go in your sentbox and click the invite accept thing, I have about 4 addresses now.

[apathy maybe]

I have two Yahoo accounts that I have had since about 1999ish. I am really happy with them both. Spam filter is really good, features are good. I can use POP is I want (at least I should be able to, but when I tried it only downloaded 100 messages before dieing). Heaps of space, I'm using less then 10%.

Otherwise I say get your own domain and setup a POP system with your ISP, if you have your own computer that you can use.

[RebelOutcast]

Gmail definately, especially as you can use it for file storage with the near 3gb space they give you you're never going to need anything else.

Host your own webserver and encrypt it with PGP. Public servers die and are watched.

Yahoo sucks definitely

What are you talking about?

Yahoo is the best...

I think it's horrid. It's the second slowest mail service I've ever had (AOL is the first).

[Zero]

The single best public mail server is gmail. It has a built-in web page creator as well.

[Felicia]

wait a minute.... so you have to be invited my a gmail user in order to register an account? wtf are you guys talking about. lol

[ComradeRed]

Yes, you have to be invited, but it's not hard. PM me for invites.

Basically, since GMail isn't completely finished yet, it's still in the beta stages to my knowledge, it is selective if you can get space. If you have an invite, you're golden ;)

[Felicia]

I aready have an account, DeboraAro invited me. I just didn't know the invite thingy was needed.

[Guerrilla22]

bike messengers, they haul ass

[Zero]

Yeah, its "Beta" but everyone who is intrested in using it already has an account.

Thats hilarious.

Anyone want gmail invites just PM me.

[che's long lost daughter]

There are times that I send emails to people using my yahoo account and they don't receive it.

[Graham_Pogo]

I'm deff. going to have to go with my Gmail account. I've been using it for a year and it has been my favorite. I also have a ton of invites if anyone needs one.

Ah, see I never tried that, I always presumed they wouldn't be stupid enough to allow people to send themselves invites :D
Meh, I'll carry on with what I do already, should I wish to have more, as it doesn't clog my inbox with pointless emails, and it takes exactly the same amount of time (or maybe even less) to just type something random.
