trout Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 I've had a hotmail account since '97 and never had much bother with it ... not that I use it anymore .. rather just a backup tool! Anyhow.... swiftly on .... hotmails good for being free, so is yahoo?!.. never had much experience barr these two with free webmail accounts.?!?

JustMe Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 A word of caution about google mail (gmail). Seems they are going to have targeted advertising based on word scans of your mail. Not so sure I want that. Been with Yahoo since before I got my first computer and they seem ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdal Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Operamail.com and Ecosse.net are both free and webmail. The Opera one has some ads in the free version, Ecosse.net has none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trowiemonster Posted April 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Thanks for your suggestions folks... I already have a few hotmail accounts, and a yahoo one, and am happy enough with them, but I don't really want to use them for my 'main' email account, although the new hotmail set-up might be quite good. I've already eliminated gmail, and postmaster... Will check out Operamail.com and Ecosse.net - thanks! TM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trout Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Another alternative is to purchase a domain name and some webspace for the ultimate personalised email address Though not free - you will get the exact email address you want!
