How to Compare Free Email Sites
There are many free email sites you may sign an account with that offer you limited space or may have frequent network timeouts. Comparing free email sites will allow you to choose the best site for the particular needs you have in an email address. If you want an email account just for general on-line contact, then your needs may not be as extensive as somebody who will frequently send large files to clients each day. Many free email sites offer the same features and benefits as a paid email account.

Compare free websites about the amount of storage space they offer. When you receive emails, they may include attachments such as photos, videos and music that you want to store for a later date. The more memory you have with your free account the more files and emails you can store. Choose free sites that offer the maximum memory for your email address.

Rank free websites that offer virus, spam and phishing filters. Sometimes viruses can be attached to email addresses that are sent to you. Many free web accounts such as Gmail and Windows Live will scan all emails as they come to your account so you do not mistakenly open an email that will cause damage to your computer.
