Free Webmail
Different Webmail providers are available and each has its own strengths and
weaknesses.
Choose an E-mail provider that most suits your needs:
| Hotmail: | This is the world's most popular Webmail service. With over 110 million active users, Hotmail is the number one target for spammers. In reaction to this, Hotmail has implemented one of the most advanced anti-spamming systems available. You'll still get spammed, but the spam-filtering options should keep this under control. |
| Yahoo: | Yahoo Mail is a middle of the road E-mail service. If you like having your mail and web search guide all in one site, check this one out. |
| Netscape: | Netscape Mail services are pretty good. There is no spelling check feature, as in most Webmail applications, but Netscape Mail provides an address book feature that allows you to import your address book from Outlook. This way, all your E-mail addresses are always near at hand. |
| gURLmAIL: | This site is all pink and pretty, and most well suited to young girls (13 years old or older) |
| Bigfoot: | Bigfoot is a great resource for finding lost friends and family, and the E-mail services provided here are designed with that in mind. |
| FastMail Canada: | A Canadian Webmail provider... and proud of it... Fast too... |
| Hushmail: | This is an encrypted mail provider. E-mail is not particularly secure, as your messages bounce from one mail server to the next over the Internet. For those of you worried about encrypting your mail messages should check out Hushmail. You can read your mail over a secure encrypted connection, but if you want to send secure messages you will have to get all your friends hooked up with Hushmail accounts. For the overly paranoid, you can set up anonymous E-mail here too. |
| MochaMail: | This is a deluxe webmail package, with spell checking and offline message composing. It's an excellent choice for broadband Internet users, but it's large Java interface is too large for slower connections. Included comes a POP3 mail interface, and more... |
| Caramail | This E-mail service, provided by Lycos, is entirely 'en Francais' for those who prefer it that way. |
