Quality Free Email Services

Mail.com
http://www.mail.com

Mail.com allows you to choose from among many endings to your email. Examples include you@paris.com, dr.com, and 2die4.com.

FastMail

Here's one of a dying breed: a free e-mail service with 10 MB of storage. This is a gem in an era in which even Hotmail, the granddaddy of all free Web-based e-mail accounts, has reduced its mail storage to the size of a postage stamp. FastMail allows users to fetch their messages from other e-mail accounts, too.

Yahoo! Mail
http://mail.yahoo.com

This full-featured email service is very popular with everyone!

ActivatorMail
http://www.activatormail.com/

Are you sick of spam and e-mailed computer viruses? Then this is the free e-mail service for you. Although a free account here holds only 50 e-mails, that may be plenty-especially if your inbox contains only sincere communications and not scads of ponzi schemes and pornographic come-ons.

E-Mailanywhere.com
http://www.e-mailanywhere.com

The private Canadian corporation, MPC Technologies, brings you this fast and reliable way to access your pop email from anywhere on the Web. They also have a nice free email. This is actually my favorite free service. Its interface is clean clear, and quick.
