Looking for a new email service?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

since we have so many members who have problems with their email

providers(adelphia is hopeless, hotmail difficult and AOL a pain) I have

copied a message from Binegar below, who has done a nice job by

listing and commenting other service providers.

Peace

[CYSTIC-L] Free email services list

> Hello to all,

>

> I just researched a few* of the free email service online and went to the

> sites listed below to see if they were valid. Most of them look very

> professional. I did not include about 40 others.

>

> Sorry Ron, I know this is off the CF topic but maybe it will help some of

> those out there who cannot afford ongoing monthly costs for home internet

> service. I think most of these below are accessible from any computer.

> Public Libraries are a great way to check your email for free once you set

> a web based email account.

>

> We want all of you to be able to keep in touch with us at Cystic-l. It is

> always so hard to read that someone has to leave due to finances. So

> please sheck into getting a free email account. Be sure to get one that

> is at least 3 mb of space. Yahoo offers 4-5 mb, Hotmail only offers 2.5

> mb. If you can't get to the library as often as you would like.... you

> might want to consider the larger email boxes so they don't delete your

> account. Ok, here they are. If someone needs help with pros and cons of

> email features let me know and I will try to help you out. The web

> addresses for the services are all after the @ symbol. Just type the

> address into your browser bar to get there.
