Best Free Email Service-?

[ace0]

Everyone.net-or Bigmailbox.com? Are there any others? I don't like everyone.net's banner, but they have 6MB of space, and Bigmailbox only have 4MB. Which is better?

[ace0]

I did find a couple others, but not nearly as good. Any more?

http://www17.gmx.net/cgi-bin/login (multilingual), 10MB
http://webmail.lion.cc/ (german)

Both have lots of features, smtp, pop, forward, webmail. But I don't know how much space you get with lion.

gmx's and lion's server are busy sometimes, but 5-10 mins. later you can access. All in all not a real problem.

I use gmx since years and think it is one of the best free services. Lion is fine, if you would like to forward 1 mail to a few other email-adresses.

No, I mean to add an email service to your website.

Heard that BigMailBox have popups, dunno if its true tough :)

[Mandrake]

Everyone.net has pop-ups as well, but they appear behind and you hardly notice them.

I like bigmailbox. I think it will use that for my new site. It has a more prefessional look, and as afar as I've seen, there aren't any pop ups.

yeah, but is 4MB enough?

Well, depends. Since I started saving emails in an account at everone.net in Nov 2000, I have used 0.834 MB of space. That's with absolutely no attachments though. So, for me, anything over 2 MB would probably be good enough. Besides, when my "Big mail box" becomes too small, I can forward some messages to other accounts.

[ace0]

really? thanks. I think I will use bigmailbox. They do seem a lot more professional. The others I found all had some weakness like you needed to purchase a domain from them, or use their subdomain, or only get 2MB.

Everyone.net allows you 50% of the banner space. Are there anymore free email services for websites that share the banner space or allow you to add banners?

[Canuckkev]

Well, not sure if you knew, but BMB gives you 30% of the ads. But personally I could care less. I'd rather just not put an ad up because no one ever clicks them anyways.

[ace0]

yeah-what is the point of putting an ad to your site if the person is already on it? Unless you own another site, but you would probably put that on the index page...I think BMB should maybe take all the ads and offer more space if they could.

[ace0]

It would really be cool if everyone.net took all the ads, and not have their logo on-I mean-who doesn't know about them by now!

[Mike-T]

Yes, you're right the ads. Then my first choice would be ZZN http://www.zzn.com I've used them before.

What's the URL for BMB? I tried the obvious, but it didn't work.

[ace0]

bigmailbox.com

I don't want a subdomain or whatever-I want MY domain.
