Dead Messiah Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 What's everyone's favorite E-Mail service (pay or free), and why? Just thought I'd ask because I'm looking for a really reliable & all around good E-Mail service (hopefully POP3-based with a cool @____.___) Well, please post your comments here. Thanks a lot!

Tim Dorr Veteran Posted May 14, 2002 Veteran Share Posted May 14, 2002 i just use mail.yahoo.com and forward anything @timdorr.com to it. That way I get web-based email for free, and pop3 access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKer Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 Been using Hotpop for ages now, well reliable but you do get a few adverts - but only once a month or so (and they're are obvious and easy to ignore). The best free service I've been with and with a selection of addresses. You can choose protocol too. Also use Bigfoot as a forwarder in case my account gets swamped with spam, so I can keep the HotPOP account and change the one I use in internet sites should some inconsiderate prick start sending me rubbish.

jsutton Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 Personally, I prefer to use POP3 e-mail which I get from my web host, I hate free web-based cause spam is a nuisance. That?s just my two cents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liar2 Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 POP3 definitely free e-mail sucks because you get spam GALORE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deckhand Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 i like my ISP's (road runner) its actually lets you send pretty big files..(like 6 megs or maybe 10...around there) pop3, and the service is great.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOOPAH256 Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 just hotmail. it's not nearly the best service out there, but i just use it cause it's generally one of the most popular. if i ever need to save emails. i'll just use outlook and download them...with only 2MB available to store email online...i have to constantly look after it. but it's all good.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead Messiah Posted May 16, 2002 Author Share Posted May 16, 2002 Originally posted by liar2 POP3 definitely What I was looking for in this thread was for people to post the E-Mail service (i.e. Hotmail/Yahoo!/HotPOP/MyRealBox/...) that they use or think is the best out there because I'm looking for a good mail service. Hopefully a POP3-based service so I can scan for viruses and have Outlook notify me when I get new mail; and hopefully a catchy @ name (i.e. [name]@{catchy-service-name}.net/com/org/...) So if you could, could you please post the E-Mail service that you use & are happy with or think is the best out there. Thanks. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonallison Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 I payed for my domain, and got an email service free! I only paid ?5.80 (2years), but now they have gone upto ?6 odd for 2 years. but I think its still worth the money! ( the ?6 service is a web forward domain with email) you could have "yourname@yourname.co.uk" or .com whatever it also uses outlook, with a coded mailbox name say if it was W123456-1 is your first mailbox and W123456-2 is your second! so have a look @ oneandone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
