Free E-mail services (U.S.)

  • AmpliMail
    A nice free E-mail service provider, AmpliMail offers lots of handy features, including anti-spam protection, a calendar, address book, WAP mail for mobile users, and your choice of domains. Here, you get 7 megs of space and your attachments can be up to 2 megs in size.

  • Gmail
    A versatile, free Web-based E-mail service, Gmail offers a generous 7 gigs of space. The service is ad-supported (but there are no popups or banners, only small text ads). Gmail has lots of handy features, including spam protection, an integrated chat feature, mobile phone access, automatic mail forwarding and POP3 access. The Gmail interface supports 40 languages. Note: On Feb. 14, 2007, Gmail became available to anyone worldwide (previously, the service was invitation-only).

  • Mail2Web.com
    This very useful Web-based "E-mail retrieval application" lets you easily access your E-mail from almost any POP3 or IMAP4 server. Mail2Web.com is free and requires no registration. Mail2Web.com differs from Web-based E-mail services like Hotmail in that it allows you to use your existing E-mail account.

  • Smileymail.co.uk
    Here's a good, basic free E-mail service that offers 7 megs of storage space. Smileymail.co.uk features a handy address book and gives you the ability to send and receive attachments.

  • TheFreeSite.com E-mail
    TheFreeSite.com offers its own free E-mail service. This service gives you 1 gig of space for your messages and you can send attachments up to 10 megs in size. Features include spam blocking and anti-virus protection and the service can be configured to allow you to read your POP mail, as well. You must be 13 or older to sign up for an account.

  • Yahoo! Mail
    Yahoo! Mail, currently the Net's most popular free Web-based E-mail service, with over 250 million users, offers a powerful package that includes such nifty features as spam filtering and password protection for outgoing E-mails. We particularly like the Norton AntiVirus feature, which automatically scans incoming E-mail attachments.
    • In August 2007, Yahoo! Mail began offering a new feature that lets its users send text messages to mobile phone users.
    • In May 2007, Yahoo! Mail became the first major free E-mail provider to start offering unlimited E-mail storage.
  • BurntMail
    (Note: BurntMail ended the free version of its E-mail service on March 1, 2004, but a 30-day free trial is still available). Here's a superb Web-based E-mail service that offers a lot of nice features such as spam protection, stationery, POP3 support and E-mail forwarding. A big plus to this service is that it doesn't plaster ads on your E-mails.

  • Windows Live Hotmail
    Owned by Microsoft, Hotmail is the Net's second largest free Web-based E-mail provider, with over 220 million users. Hotmail offers mail filtering that allows you to direct mail into folders and also features a spell checker and a signature option, as well as the ability to customize your layout. You can add up to 20 recipients per message, as well as send attachments of up to 10 megs. Hotmail also offers its users the option of scanning E-mails and attachments for viruses.
    • In May 2007, Microsoft rolled out a new version of its free E-mail service that offers 5 gigs of storage space, as well as features that are similar to Microsoft's popular desktop-based Outlook E-mail program (including the ability to drag and drop messages into folders).
