E-mailservices top-5

henrico · 18 Jun 2004, 12:30 AM

So many changes in the last couple of months, maybe it's time for a new favourites list? My preferences changed a bit...

1 - Oddpost (I'm a subscriber)

2 - Fastmail.fm (I'm 'guest')

3 - Mailsnare

4 - Yahoo

5 - Runbox

(and GMail? I'm not convinced...maybe later...)

He is an "e" in email here!! It is Killer's email service, and I have personally found it to be extremely reliable, low on spam, and the graphics are awesome!!

The url is http://www.killer.ac.gs

Check it out!!

My top 4:

1. FastMail.FM
My primary account.

2. Mailsnare
A close runner up. If I wasn't with FastMail, I would be with Mailsnare.

3. Runbox

4. Yahoo
Best free junk collector around, even before the recent 100 mb upgrade.

I don't really have a fifth choice.

My list is:[list=1][*]PromptPost (what else would I say

)[*]FastMail[*]Gmail[*]Zworg[*]Yahoo[/list=1]

1. GMail: The best mail for me, super fast on my 56K modem, brilliant interface, great idea.

2. Fastmail.fm: Best email package available. It can be a bit complex and over the top at times. Interface is a big let down. Otherwise, near perfect

3. Yahoo: I just cant use @Yahoo and sound serious.I mean with gmail I can communicate with work colleagues. They should offer other domain names as well. But they have been doing very admirable job for sure

4. Bluebottle: Pretty neat and tidy stuff

5. Hotmail/MSN: Only case I have heaps of memories attached to them, I reckon they're pretty decent only for spams and lack of space.

pyedka · 18 Jun 2004, 11:20 PM

My Top 5:

1. snailmail.ch

)

Who would have thought Yahoo! would be in a top-5 in this forum a few months ago? I cannot recall storage being such a big determining factor here, or Runbox would have beat Fastmail, etc.

Anyway, my five are:

1. Mailsnare (overall)
2. Zworg (high reliabilty, speed, despite lack of IMAP support)
3. Yahoo! (reliability)
4. Swissinfo (free relatively reliable IMAP)
5. Freeshell (not very reliable but virtually free, SquirrelMail)

Outside the five: Fastmail (for reliability, and as long as I use mail clients not webmail).
Undecided: Fusemail

Yahoo, bluebottle, fastmail, gmail, and myway.

I'm still having problems logging on to gmail with my browser so it will not be my fave until it is more compatible.

Yahoo is just terrific!

You cannot beat bluebottle for spam free mail.
