How to choose your first email for your business - Continue from last post about gmail ..

Yes , now we will take a look at few more other free type of popular email that you might want to join :

Yahoo! Mail
  1. If you just need an easy & simple email program to send and receive with few features, choose Yahoo! Mail.
    1. A lot of people use Yahoo! Mail just for signing up for things they don't want to be spammed by, and since Yahoo! Mail is not JavaScript based, it is faster on most computers.
    2. Yahoo! Mail has a new version in limited beta in which they are turning the interface into a more desktop like one.
    3. One problem is that Yahoo! has large banner ads and adds an advertisement onto your emails, however you can press an arrow which hides them.
    4. Another good things about Yahoo! is that you get unlimited space.

Hotmail

  1. Hotmail is another program.
    1. It has features, but a limited amount of space.
    2. It is also a little complicated for the non-computer savvy person. 2MB storage (NOTE: after 30 days, account storage bumps up to 250MB), signatures, stationary, HTML compatible.
    3. It also has a limited beta version, named Windows Live Mail, that offers 2GB storage, and some good features.(see How to Get a Windows Live Mail Account to learn how to sign up)

Mail.com

  1. Mail.com Is a straight-forward and easy to use email. Offers 3GBs of storage and attachment sizes up to 10MB.
    • There are hundreds of personalized addresses to choose from which makes them unique among all the other free email providers.
    • Has recently been re-designed. Pop-ups have been removed, storage space has been increased, new anti-spam technology added, there is a ton of new content, it's starting to look a lot like a news portal, which is great if you like that sort of thing.
    • They do have some nice features. Notepad, calendar, address book, pop3, email forwarding, SMS email (costs money), games...
    • Overall, it is a good email program but still has room for improvement.

Lycos

  1. Lycos Offers 5MB of storage, spam fighting tools, HTML composer, domain and address blocking.
    • It is a little harder to understand and use, but it is usable. It has banner ads and blinking lights, but if you don't mind these, it is alright.
    • It can automatically send an email to anyone who sends you an email. To upgrade to the better version will cost you.

WorldEmail

  1. WorldEmail allows users to email search and create web-based email, but users are typically bombarded by pop-ups and annoying banner ads.
    • It also includes an address book, signatures, spam filters, a calendar, spell check, priority setting, attachments, and encryptions.
    • Kind of difficult to use.
ok , how is it now ? Do you have your favourite email to choose now ? Anyway , no matter what it's free & you may join all that but if you want to have secure email just chose the best from the email list that we have describe before ...

TQ.
