Danny Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Gmail (Y) You can use it with outlook too you just have to enable POP mail in the options. Elce buy yourself a domain as most domain people offer free mail no hosting required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartridge Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Must say I like the way Gmail works.... it stores emails in 'conversations', rather than single emails, so you can follow a series of emails really easily. Loads of storage space, can add large attachments... I'm sure someone will moan about it spying on you or something though... but to be honest, Its not really a concern... I'm hardly sending top secret MI5 evidence across the UK (Y) Edit: Ok, buy yourself a domain name then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartridge Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Better than most free email thingies though? I mean, university email is obviously more, but its not free and stuff. Meh, whatever. Gmail is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexx Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Just buy yourself a .com They're only $8 a year (like £5). Unlimted email addresses, Unlimited Storage, Unlimted attachments etc You can set them up so anything@yourdomain.com will just bounce it's self to you, so for forums and stuff you have infinate variables without even re-registering anything....

Thanks, Max. ← Indeed it does although it depends on what company you registered it with. Most companies provide some basic e-mail forwarding.

Backgren Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 I use 3 different adresses, one Hotmail for junk mail and to use when signing up on less serious websites, another one for mails to friends and companies, and the school one for massive attachments(300 something mb's ), "companies" is usually internet shops or sponsors...
