What have you found to be the best (reliable) free email service for quasi-business stuff?

@hotmail

@google

@yahoo

Did I miss any worth while?

Tnx,

Thom

gmail.

If you use it, be sure and SECURE it by typing the "s" right after the http after you login to your account so it reads "https://..." and press enter. You are now emailing securely.

I like the structure of the program and how replying makes it easy and manageable.

gmail.

It uses the Ajax standard of web programming, so data is transferred in increments instead of all at once (i.e. instead of reloading the WHOLE page when you delete a message or something, it acts more like an application-based mail program like Outlook).

Also, you have almost 3GB of storage, and the layout is just NICE. It's not cluttered or anything. It's as easy to use as most of Google's applications (like Google Search, Google Maps, etc.)

For quasi-business or anything business I wouldn't use any of them. Since the choice wasn't there to pony up for your own domain I would cast the vote for Gmail.

Yahoo used to be good before they gave everyone a gig of space. Now they give you unlimited disk space, but you get ton of junk advertisements mostly in the bulk mail folder, but few ad emails actually slip through Yahoo's filtering software and appear in yourl Inbox, which is kind of a pain.

I've never got any junk mail in my Yahoo! account until recently. You just need to go to marketing preferences and uncheck all of them.

I only started getting junk mail after one of my domain's went off private who is info and my email got listed

Yahoo! has been good to me.

I use Gmail.

Unlike Hotmail it works with the new MS Vista email client. And I don't have to search through a bunch of spam like with Hotmail.

Incorrect - I actually own 8 domains and I can run them all in MSX - it wasn't about domain, it was about using a free mail for various quasi-business purposes.

Looks like Gmail is a leader.

Gotcha...I focused on quasi-business (resembling a business). Where I work we deal a lot with sub-contractors and it's sometimes hard to get the big wigs to take them seriously with a yahoo or gmail email address. Just thought I would provide a little bit of how others perceive a business operating with one of the free email providers.

How about this one for quasi-business?

I would take it as serious.

Free and Budweiser in the same sentence always gets my attention!!!

I agree!

I hate when a top grade applicant has an email address:

[email protected],

or [email protected]

[email protected]

You get the picture.
