Spec me an email provider

leaskovski · 26 Mar 2006 at 10:23

This is probably in the wrong forum but i don't know which one it should be in so if a mod has an idea where i should stick it (tehe), can they move it please.

Anyway, the current email address is getting too much spam these days and plus it is heavily linked to my mobile phone (orange) which i am going to change network very soon. So what are the better free email providers out there at the moment? Of course i would like it to be free (so no hotmail advance carp) and have pop access.

Cheers boowee.

Gmail perhaps?

If you want an invite just ask.

Gmail has pop access, loads of storage and a good spam filter.

Are you currently using your ISP email address? as you should be able to change it.

Nah. I set this address up years and years ago. I never really use the ISP address as you never know when they are gonna change your connection FUP's and SUP's for the worst (Cough, PlusNET, cough)

Its a bit slow though and still in Beta

I'd go for gmail unless you really have a problem using them.

I suggest you get a friend in the USA to setup your GMail accounts otherwise your stuck with the lame googlemail one instead of the GMail
