Free E-Mail Providers

[ThePentiumGuy]

Guys, do u know of any free email providers that let you have more than 10 MB space?

 

I tried http://www.mail.com , i get 10 MB and a personalized email domain thing for free:

thepentiumguy@programmer.net <-- note the .net :P

 

do you ppl know of anything else that gives you more space??

That would be cool

Yeah, use an e-mail client and not web based mail. Outlook Express, Eudora, whatever. That way all your mail is stashed on your HD and you don't have to worry about space. :P

what if someone sends me a virus?

then, my HD would be.. gone (

 

so, can i create my own.. email, like thepentiumguy@myname.com

without paying, while using an email client?

You should see how much it costs to get an e-mail address from your ISP, and it's usually pretty cheap. More reliable too. I think mine is $4.99 a month or something from my ISP.

i think it comes free with Verizon..

so does that mean, i can get ANY email name i want?

If you want your own domain you'll have to register it (usually costs around $8/year). You should call your ISP and see what they offer in terms of providing e-mail for your own domain name. I bet you'll have to pay for hosting too though. :P

 

You won't get a virus unless you actually open the attachment. :P Even so, you should be backing up your HD periodically anyway.
