on 8/16/2006 Now you can get GMail for free with your mobile phone. GMail has a lot of great features, and you can set it up with Outlook (Windows) or Mail (Mac OS X). Very easy to set up.

on 3/16/2006 The Gmail service is getting better and better by each passing day. Here are the following services that they have to offer (For Free)
1. More than 2.5 GB of mailbox space (and still increasing)
2. Have one Gmail account and use many other accounts (from any other domain) from within that account to send mails using those accounts. (You don't even have to login to those accounts)
3. Introduced Chat from within E-mail.

on 11/22/2005 By not giving out your e-mail address all over the Internet, you can save yourself a lot of spam. If you do need to give out an address, consider using an address from places such as http://www.dodgeit.com or http://www.mailinator.com who offer free throw-away addresses.

on 11/22/2005 Yahoo! is by far the best: it loads fast (even on dial-up) and includes filters, and access to other Yahoo! places, such as Geocities. Hotmail is really, really, bad! Everything that reaches your in-box without the sender's e-mail in your address book will be marked as junk. goowy.com is nice. It's probably unheard of yet, for now. It uses a Flash interface which takes e-mail to the next level. Of course, if you use dial-up, it'll be a long, long wait.
