Web based e-mail

[TheGreatSoprendo]

Can anybody recommend any good (and free!) web based e-mail services that give you a slightly less ubiquitous address than hotmail.com or yahoo.com?

I’ve currently got an account with angelfire.com which I like, but it’s become so overrun with spam that, sadly, I’m going to have to abandon it and start afresh. Unfortunately, angelfire no longer accepts new accounts, so I’m looking for an alternative…

Have you got pop3 access? If so e-mailanywhere.com can sort you out with web based access to your pop account.

Google are about to launch G-Mail...

Or if you have pop3 try http://mail2web.com

Free of charge.

EDIT: Also no bloody popups (that e-mailanywhere has several)

Hmmm... I'm guessing since I don't know what it is, I don't!

I think of pop3 as being the sort of account you access directly using Outlook Express, as opposed to going to a website first.

Ah, I see. What I have in mind is something purely web based, along the lines of hotmail. Any ideas?

Try 37.com

[mcflurry]

try lycos.co.uk
they does be free and give you a few free sms messages too

Get your own domain name, only costs around £6 for 2 years for a .co.uk and about the same per year for .com/.net, you then have the option to set up spam traps. For example when I register with a site I always use the email address [e-mail] so that if one site sells my info to spammers I know who did it and more importantly can block that address.

All my stuff goes on the company server so I'm not sure which companies do but I know quite a few registration companies give free webmail with their domains.

Oh and of course your can't be held to ransom by the email provider.

This way your email address will always stay the same even if you change providers, just re-route the domain to your new address under the covers, plus you can route spammed addresses to the big bit bucket in the sky and forget about them.

Which is why he suggested emailanywhere. It takes your pop3 email and puts in into web format.
