hey can anyone give me a website that hosts a good free e-mail service? i just changed my internet sevice so i lost mine and i dont like the new one i got. i need something with a lot of mb's but im too cheap to pay for it. i like yahoo since they just changed it to 100mb but i cant choose a user name without having a few digits in the name. and i dont want anything that has a certain bandwidth level. any help would be nice. thanks
 
Hotmail is planning to expand to 100MB, and G-Mail will be coming soon from Google.
 
Gmail. Unfortunately it's by invitation only right now. I got an invite from a fellow moderator who only had one, and it rocks. Very fast menu/interface, ability to search by word for old e-mails, 1,000mb(yes, 1 gigabyte) of free storage space, etc. Ask around on any forums you go to - someone is bound to have an invitation they can give you. I saw 7 given out at another forum yesterday.

joshuagault@gmail.com <-- Just to rub it in.:p

I got an invite, Gmail owns Hotmail.

My Gmail is to Top Secret to post here. :dopey:
 
Well is it 1,000MB or a gigabyte?
I want the full gig, man.

I never got the invite from this dude who, um...attainted them systematically.
But Hotmail works as well as I need it to.
 
Rediff offers 1000 megabyte accounts for free as well. Except Rediff isn't by invite like GMail is :).
 
because English is the universally accepted language of the internet :). Plus there are about 15 or so major, natively spoken languages in India.

yahoo upgraded to 25 or 100 mb for non-customres and customers now have 2 gigs worth of space.

Whaat? I have SBC Yahoo DSL and I only get 100 MB of space! :mad: maybe because it is a sub-account...
 
well i doubt anyone would give me an invite to gmail. i guess i can use yahoo or something till gmail is open to the public. anyone have any idea when that is?

Get a line with a permanent IP address and buy some weird domain name. Then you can have emails till they're coming out of your *ss....

Just remember to do the occasional backup...

I thought hotmail was expanding to 250mb and 10mb attachments. at least thats what it said in the email i got from them. :odd:
 
Wow, that's a prolific statement there, L1ama.

Spymac.com offers 1GB of storage space. And it's free. And anyone can sign up.

The only drawback is that you are affiliated with Apple with a spymac email account. That's the thing that keeps me from using it often.

http://www.spymac.com/ <<< Very very very good.

And btw. 1000MB are not 1 GB.

1,024 Byte = 1 Kilobyte (KB)
1,024 Kilobyte (KB) = 1 Megabyte (MB)
1,073,741,824 Bytes = 1 Gigabyte (GB)
1 Gigabyte (GB) = 1,024 Megabyte (MB)

Heard of that awhile back.

@gmail.com looks and sounds better than @spymac.com! 👍

sooo....by 24 mb short, its like the same thing

Yeah, I know. I only wanted to explain why Joey asked if it was 1000MB or 'the full gig'. ;)

Hmm, anyways, if I was a mac-user, I'd for sure create a spymac account. They offer even more than just 1GB of space. 100MB webspace, 250MB photo storage space, a blog etc. Sounds like a nice all around service to me.

what does that mean?
 
It means you can host your own email server on your computer. You could make as many email addresses as you wanted under the domain you bought.

This sounds like an absurd idea, unless you care what the domain name is.
 
I actually have a spymac account (surprised?), but I haven't used it... somehow, I don't think that telling people my address is "@spymac.com" is the best thing. "Spy-wha'?"
