Online Free Email Service

Will anyone recommend a good safe and, oh yes, FREE online email service. I have been using Hotmail but it's open to anyone who wants to post anything. I just thot I'd ask.

jersal--An "online" email service? Does that mean you already have an ISP? Doesn't your ISP offer email through Outlook Express (without having to use Hotmail), for example?
Lots of free email services once you have internet access. Gmail would be a good choice. Yahoo, Juno, and many more offer free email

Or do you need internet access as well?

 

Email etc

Thanx, weshjim, for the response. I shoulda been more clear. I have an internet provider and I use Outlook Express with that. I have Hotmail for an "online" account. This is for things such as downloads, games and other ilk that I don't want to leave in Outlook Express. I'm getting tired of the junk I get with Hotmail. It has been my experience in this BB that I could get some really good tips on which one to select.

jersal--I understand you get a lot of downloaded files using email, instead of just downloading from a website. I think Gmail (from Google) would be a good choice. They offer 2GB of storage space free, including emails and email attachments.

If they still require you be "invited" to join, send your email address to me by Private Message and I will arrange an invitation.
But I am sure you will get other recommendations.

 

Gmail has a good spam filter also. I had to change my email addy because I messed up and was getting tons of spam. I am entitiled to two emails with my ISP so I have my old one forward everything to Gmail and it all ends up in the spam filter. I have two Gmail Accounts so the other one I have forwards to my home addy.
If you need an invite to Gmail I have a hundred of them to give out just send me a note and I'll send you an invite. I'll need a name and email address.

Thanks Folks. This has been really helpful. I sent Maggie a request for an invitation.
