TheFreeSite.com: Free Email Services
In this section, TheFreeSite.com takes a look at the best general-purpose free Email services on the Web. These services are all totally free and are usually supported by advertising. Even if you already have an Email account on your home computer, a Web-based Email account can be very handy for corresponding when you're on the road. Please send us Email if you're aware of any similar free resources that we haven't listed below, or if you find dead or expired links.

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 10 megs of space and your attachments can be up to 2 megs in size.

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.

Outlook.com
Not to be confused with Microsoft's desktop program, this new excellent free service challenges Gmail as the Web's most powerful email service. Outlook offers an attractive, uncluttered interface and includes integration with social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.

Gmail
A versatile, free Web-based E-mail service, Gmail offers a generous 10 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.

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.

Yahoo! Mail
Yahoo! Mail, currently the Web's second most popular free Web-based E-mail service, with over 300 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.

BurntMail
(Note: BurntMail is no longer free, 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.

Hotmail
(Note: in Feb. 2013, Microsoft switched Hotmail users to its new E-mail service, Outlook.com). Owned by Microsoft, Hotmail is the Web's largest free Web-based E-mail provider, with over 324 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.
