Since I own many email accounts from different providers, I am curious to know, what do you guys think is the best one to use?

Google Mail. It's awesome.

Hotmail, it has filters, junk mail, secure/unsecure stuff,
But a little part is not good, the messages from Paint.NET forum gets shown as dangerous
But they arent...

Google Mail without a doubt, spam filter is absolutely amazing. I get around 1500 spam per month, and it is 99.9% accurate at putting spam in the right place. The interface is really good, simple but functional. Can't fault Google Mail - wouldn't ever consider using someone else for my email.

Gmail is ftw.
I use it for most things now, the hotmail one is only for spam and I only use the .net passport so I could chat to friends.

Hotmail.Never would use anything else.

Cox Mail. I have NEVER received any spam at all, and I get 2gigs of memory.

Use hotmail and Googlemail. I've had a hotmail for a while and it has my MSN setup on it, as for googlemail I use that for most usage with Thunderbird setup on my computer .

I use Yahoo and I'm happy with the free service. The Bulk folder is often accurate and I only get about 10 spam emails a day. I quickly scan through them and move any to my Inbox that don't belong. This account is my primary email account that I use for all my registrations and chatting with friends and whatnot.

I also have a Gmail account that I use only for job prospects.

Agreed. I use my gmail account for everything. It filters out all the spam, and you can set countless filters to try and prevent the spam coming in the first place. I enjoy making a filter which sends the spam back to th sender

I use Yahoo Mail for the most part. It's not so much a fact of it being better than GMail but it's what I started with and it is way to much hassle to switch to a different provider. I really don't like that Yahoo doesn't allow me to auto-forward.



That's what I do as well. I use a couple of GMail accounts for various reasons and just auto-forward them to Thunderbird. It's a nice system.

Another great thing about GMail is that you can use the storage space to store things other than emails

Gmail>everything

Can't beat 6.5 gigs (and counting) of free memory

I have my own server.

But GMail is the best out of all of them.

I have my own mail server too, but I still use GMail.

Brilliant product from Google.

GMail ftw, only thing I'd use for mail.

HMail for MSN

Google mail is probably the best, but I voted for hotmail, because I use it

I use Hotmail for MSN

But i have a private email but seems to use Squirrelmail Services,

I haven't received a piece of spam to date

GMAIL

It's really simplistic, easy to use... you can very easily archive messages so you're inbox doen't get full, though, it is hard when you have around 8gb of space

~Magical

You not receiving spam is not down to Squirrelmail though, as it has no spam filtering.

Google Mail all the way.

Great spam filter, simple interface, a lot of memory and lot more features

I sort of use Hotmail, but not that often..

Gmail, it's easily the best. I've had it for almost a year and only 1 spam has ever got through the filter. With the inbuilt chat, I can talk to anyone.

I use two Gmail accounts.

One informal and one formal. I use the in-formal on for signing up to sites etc, and all mail is forward to my formal one, which I also use as my .net passport(/WLID) for MSN.

*Wondering if you all know you can use Gmail for MSN*

I do, and I use my own domain email with MSN too.

If i understood correctly Yahoo! has infinite space....
I use yahoo only because when i made my email account Gmail wasnt around yet or was still very primitive and Yahoo was the best thing around.

Nobody can offer infinite, they can offer unmetered however.

But someone who uses 6.5GB of space must receive a lot of emails. If each email is 100kb each, that is about 68000 emails. An awful lot.

Likewise, the spam filter is amazing. I have no problem sticking it on the internet without the <at> stuff. Reminds of the the Social Security number commercial on TV not to long ago. Some how my "work" e-mail is ran through the google systems as well.

jthomson93@gmail.com <--- YAY MORE MALE ENHANCEMENT SPAM!!!

Yahoo..Am I,Agent,and cap the only one that uses it?
I never use email though..Lol but i use yahoo cause its just default lol...

Gmail for sure, if you can't access it, you can always use https. A bit laggy on older computers, but has soooo much space.

I have hotmail and gmail accounts. I only have hotmail for the MSN, though, Gmail is better to use IMO.

I use the account I got from my ISP for formal stuff like online purchases etc., then I have an alias on that for forums, then a gmail account for school and whatnot. The advantage is that they can all be used simultaneously in my lightweight Mail application.

~Knight Haleth

The thing I don't like about ISP accounts, is it restrict me moving ISPs so easily.
