REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I need to use something other than hotmail (thinks mods are viruses) So what do you use, what are the pros and cons, and is it free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinkle Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Gmail. I route almost all of my email accounts except my ISP email there for easy one-stop email management. (I use Outlook for ISP email so I can remove the emails from the server) Ever since the first day I tried Gmail I swear by it. It makes Hotmail and Yahoo look like a bad joke, and it's free. In my opinion it's all pros and no cons, although some people are sketched out that there are targeted ads on the page. I have 600 invites, PM me if you want one.

RC-1162 Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 ^^^ im with you. i use Gmail and Hotmail mainly but im in love with Gmail. its got amazing features and unlimited storage space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAiNz.2da Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I use my own server's POP mail.. (unlimited storage, unlimited accounts, no limit attachments) but since you're wanting free... I also use Yahoo Mail (1GB Allowance)... they're anti-spam filters must be from another universe since I've yet to ever receive any SPAM with that account Plus, I've never had any problems sending out attachments...However, don't let the 1gb fool you. You're still limited to a maximum of a 10mb file size per email. I don't have a Gmail account , but if you can get your hands on one of those.. then I'd have to say Gmail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Down Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I use Hotmail, Gmail and Yahoo! (subscribed).But Yahoo! is just way better then the others.. - Dream Evil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAiNz.2da Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 did i mention 600 invites? Oh yeah.. I caught that But since I'm already using 5+ accounts, I'll leave the invites to the people that need them... However, that's very generous of you spinkle, and I'm sure there are others that will greatly appreciate your offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrotoy7 Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I use my ISPs, uni and work e-mail accounts via outlook 2003 for serious stuff. I have a couple of Hotmail accounts for misc crap... mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MdKnightR Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I have used Yahoo! religiously for about 7 years now. I used to have Hotmail, but I let it go. I also tried providing my own domain address through Everyone.net as a public e-mail provider, but I don't guess many people know about it. It is still active if you want an e-mail address designed for art lovers. Click Here to get an e-mail address <username>@artcrusade.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I use gmail. Everything else pales in comparison. I'm almost certain gmail went public recently, I don't think you even NEED an invite to get a gamil account anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archon II Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 GMAIL! When I heard 2.6GB of free space, I began scouring the internet for a link to a free account, and finally found one after like 45 minutes of searching. Was it worth it? Of course... And once again, if any of you folks want it, just PM me... I've got a ton on invites too... CONFORM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHawke Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I have Hotmail, which is the address I sign up everything under to send the spam to. Yahoo that I use sporadically, though I like the Yahoo better than Hotmail. Lastly an email account with my ISP. So I have plenty for now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aash Li Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 haha! This is the email equivalent of What Browser Do You Use? I wonder if we'll get into the whole: 'Vlada why do you use Outlook when Thunderbird is so much better?' hehehe. I use the pop feature on gmail and use thunderbird. Also have hotmail, which I use for spam and for stuff that I dont want to give out my actual email for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 I guess I'll try the GMAIL then, what's an invite, is it a private club or something? edit: Forgot, Since I don't email much, is 5ish MB to much to send someone if I don't know their connection speed, or should attachments always be .zip-ped?
