I need a mail account

[Floyd-the-k]

Howdy there you knowledgeable types. I need a free webmail account and hotmail is so last century. Can you recommend any cool alternatives?

yours on the cutting edge

[Mr D]

Well I reccomend Gmail, though I know some folks have gaping problems with it. Snazzy sounding, tons of space... Free too, so long as someone invites you. If you fancy it sendmail me what email address you currently use and I'll pop an invite your way.

Yahoo is alright, though a little prone to spyware, which appears to target it very easily ...

[Mr D]

I recommend it. Not reccomend....

[Generally Contrary]

I use Yahoo - enough space for almost any sensible use these days, and pretty free of spam.  I get the occasional dictators wife e-mailing me, but not many people offering to make my member bigger.

It is a shame, for what else am I going to spend my tyrant's gold on?

Yeah, I agree with GC, I've had my yahoo account for years now, I go through spates of getting the odd Spam, but it really is very little and almost always gets delivered straight into the Bulk Mail folder.  You get 250MB, and I only use 2-8% of that at any one time.

When I had Hotmail I hadn't even sent an e-mail before I had 30 spams in my box after a day.

I get about 3000 spam a day. Is that normal?

Heh - is that all M@?!?

I have two main accounts, outside of personal accounts, one a yahoo (which is plenty big enough) and a hotmail (which is now also plenty big).  I don't get too much spam in either anymore, but I use the hotmail account for forms which I think are likely to give spam.

I use gmail too & its excellent.

not one spam!

I realy like the 'conversation' style of archiving too.

[Jared Katooie]

Yahoo is good but Gmail is best Floyd. I'd send you an invite if I knew how. I have no interest in learning how.

gmail = wicked

[Floyd-the-k]

wicked as in terrific or wicked as in evil?
  I now have a gmail account, but I remain open to suggestions
