Webmail accounts

[mrsd]

Can anybody recommend a decent webmail outfit ? Or is this a contradiction in terms ? I had hotmail, but got sick of having 100 mails a day, 6 of which weren't spam and went on to Operamail. No spam, but then precious little mail of any persuasion other than people saying 'This is the eighth email I've sent you about this' when I haven't seen the previous 7

I'm very happy with Yahoo! mail: lets me redirect it to other accounts and access it from mobile devices if needs be.

Oh, and it's not run by Microshaft either.

Edited to add: seemingly little or no spam either (don't sign up for any of their blatent spam schemes - take a bit of searching out but the opt-out boxes are all there).

I use www.cwgsy.net (but I work for CW so I would say that). Do pop3, webmail etc.

Free, reliable, pretty good, Ignore the customer number bit when signing up (or invent one - c then 5 digits)

MrsD, I recommend web.de: pop3, smtp, spam filter, 12MB / 500 messages allowed; 4MB max message size, SMS messaging, SMS notification, fax sending and receiving, etc.

I experienced it pretty reliable in terms of availabiltity.
You'll need to understand ze German menues though

Doesn't have to be web based, MrsD.

You can access a pop3 mailbox even if your company blocks the relevant ports with something like mail2web - I use it all the time. It lets me get rid of the cack so when I do get to download, only the quality stuff remains.

www.postmaster.co.uk seems to do the job alright for me

I've had no problems with Yahoo either. On the rare occasion I do get spam (twice in six months!) just click on the spam filter and it's dealt with!

Fastmail.FM has always been perfect for my web based needs, 10Mb space, limited bandwidth, runs on all platforms. No I don't work for them!!!
