Best Email Service

[MasterMinds]

^^ There is nothing to guess - yahoo does not offers imap or pop3 access in it's free mail service but gmail offers both of them and it's a very useful feature.

i was not sure...

Yahoo offers pop3 access in it's free mail service.

Pls confirm in your yahoo mail

I know there are some smart apps exists which enables us to access yahooo mail account as pop3 but yahoo mail's free version does not supports this.

Yahoo was giving this facility to it's free users around 4 years back but now they don't offers this feature in their free mail version anymore.

To get pop3 access you need to subscribe to yahoo mail plus which is $19.99 per year ( take a look at the link and everything will be clear )

^Gmail gives it for free right? IIRC, POP3 is old, IMAP is the new thing, which is supposedly better, right?

Don't know about you but my account still allows pop3 access

^^ yup, looks like you are getting pop3 access but for some strange reason I'm not

But I don't care much either as I have gmail

@ krow - yup, imap is better than pop3 . Take a look @ here and

Best way is Mozilla Thunderbird. You can integrate it into Gmail using POP3 and IMAP. When I was using it, I could download my whole inbox into my PC.

there is same available for gmail too
gmail driver, download your inbox to your pc

Gmail ...... because Its simple .... opening a new Google account is also simple as you dont have to answer too many questions .

 

[layzee]

GMail is the obvious choice
Free POP3/IMAP access, great UI... who else give it for free

 

[krishnandu.sarkar]

Gmail....Large storage, Many features, Light, Fast everything for free....!!

 

[spironox]

Gmail tops the list of mine

I used Eudora for years...switched to Thunderbird...this was a good choice for me...lotsa features...if your using firefox even better...but waint until you try to uninstall incredimail and it's search engine.. good luck! if you don't know how to work in the registry, I just finally got rid of mine and I put it on by mistake
