Though there are 10000000 free email providers, i dont think they will give as much space as lycos gives.

free email just use for communication, not for storing. 5m is enough .hotmail.com and mail.com is enough for personal

Sometimes need to receive large files, that's why need a big mailbox.

G6 FTP (or whatever it is called now, haven't checked in a few years) is really easy. I used it a lot with my friends, faster and more reliable than MSN's transfers.

Doesn't suprise me. Pop3 emails dont stay free without strict limitations.

I think www.hotpop.com still offers it for free tho, for those of you still looking.

I actually have faith in hotpop. They have limitations like 10mb, ads, max. msg size of 500kb, 1,000 per day incoming and 500 outcoming.
