Reliability, storage space, security and precise spam filtering are the features you should look for in a free email service.

Yahoo! Mail Classic offers most of them.

While it lacks digital signatures and message encryption, you get automatic virus protection, and Yahoo! Mail's pretty effective "SpamGuard" junk mail filters moves spam to a special folder.

Yahoo! Mail Plus users can set up disposable email addresses for used instead of their real Yahoo! Mail address. As soon as spam is received through one of them, it can be thrown way easily.

All Yahoo! Mail Classic accounts come with unlimited space for all your mail. The web-based interface — the place where Yahoo! Mail users probably spend most of their time — is comfortable and efficient (many useful keyboard shortcuts). Yahoo! Mail Classic's mail views that let you concentrate on particular messages in a folder are useful, but could be more flexible.

Of course, Yahoo! Mail Classic also offers filters to automatically sort incoming mail. Unfortunately, it does not thread messages, though. An easy to use HTML message editor lets you compose and send emails with rich formatting easily, and in Yahoo! Mail Plus you can even use stationery.

Yahoo! PhotoMail, available for everyone, makes it easy to share photos from your computer, Yahoo! Photos and the web by storing full copies on Yahoo! servers while mailing only thumbnails.

Free email services are great, but they often come at the price of tons of ads crowding a slow-loading and inflexible web-based interface.

Not so with FastMail. FastMail shows ads sparingly, and you get IMAP access from any desktop email client that makes up for the limited online mailbox size of free FastMail accounts.
But try the web-based access and you'll fall in love with its flexibility and power, too. The message editor can even re-format replies properly and includes a feature-full HTML editor for rich emails as well.

It is also a welcome and particularly useful change from other web-based accounts that FastMail allows you to put any email address in the From: line of your messages.

When you read emails in FastMail, you can choose different views — plain text, HTML, a print view or the raw source —, but even with the rich formats, FastMail protects your privacy and does not automatically download remote images.

FastMail's filtering interface may look confusing at first, but it is quite sensible and versatile. Basic spam and virus protection is in place, but free FastMail accounts lacks a personally trainable junk mail filter for even more accuracy. (For-pay accounts do include very precise Bayesian filtering.)

From the Middle East, Gawab.com makes it easy to compose emails in Arabic script even if your operating system and browser do not. That is by far not all Gawab.com does — and not all it makes easy either.

It's easy, for example, to move mail to folders in Gawab.com or to add a label: all it takes is dragging and dropping. Not only can you set up labels freely and apply them to messages swiftly, you can also include them in Gawab.com's clever search folders together with other attributes (including size, date, subject and sender).

That, together with a swift search field for each folder, makes spotting important mail real simple. You cannot search your messages' full text however — either once or in a smart folder. It's also a pity that Gawab.com's filters can only move messages to folders and not, for example, label them. Gawab.com does filter out spam in quite effective a manner, but it could catch even more junk.

If you want your messages not only in a rich web environment but also on your desktop (Gawab.com offers only 2 GB of online storage after all), you can use POP to download them. Unfortunately, Gawab.com does not offer IMAP access. It can itself fetch mail from IMAP (and POP) accounts, though, and you can send mail using your any email address using Gawab.com on the web.

When composing mail, not only can you use rich text editing, a virtual Arabic keyboard and direct access to the HTML code behind your mail; Gawab.com lets you track message delivery with a small hidden image (not transparent to the recipient).

With 5 GB of free space, Inbox.com can also comfortably be your Archive.com, but the size is not the only argument in favor of making Inbox.com your email service of choice.

For starters —and for everyday pleasure —, there's a web interface that is both fast and functional. It could be a tad more simple and offer even more convenience (drag and drop, keyboard shortcuts), though.

Finding all that archived mail works nicely using Inbox.com's search engine, and usually sufficient filters sort mail to custom folders. It's a pity the filters do not integrate with another great organizing feature, labels.

Color-coded, Inbox.com's free-form labels help you organize mail in flexible ways, and conversation view brings together related emails easily. Smart folders and better integration of address book and email messages would be great, though.

Inbox.com's spam filters perform reasonably well with little false positives and very little spam coming through. For even more protection, you can set up a convenient challenge/response filter that lets only authorized senders reach your Inbox.com Inbox.

When viewing any mail, Inbox.com protects you privacy not downloading remote images automatically. When writing any mail, you can make use of rich formatting using the functional editor, which lets you put any of your email addresses in the From: line, too.

You can also access your Inbox.com account with a desktop email program using POP and SMTP. With all of Inbox.com's web-based splendor, IMAP access is not a must, but it would be nice to have.

An email service is about sending, receiving and keeping mail. Most of all, an email service today should put at your fingertips what you need when you need it.

Zenbe makes it easy and inevitable to label emails. You can add as many to any email as make sense, and thus group them flexibly. Stars let you highlight the immediately important, and you can focus on messages from favorite contacts quickly. New emails automatically appear in context if they're part of an ongoing conversation. For older messages, Zenbe includes powerful search.

You cannot save searches as smart folders, though, or have Zenbe learn from your past labeling. The one folder Zenbe does organize automatically is "Spam", whence it quite precisely filters junk mail.

Of course, you already have an email account — and lots of mail in it that would profit from Zenbe organization. No problem: you can have Zenbe download mail from POP accounts and send using all your addresses, too. Unfortunately, seamless access to IMAP accounts is not available. Zenbe itself is accessible via POP and IMAP — the latter sadly just works for the inbox, though. No matter a message's origin, Zenbe's flexible filters can act on it automatically.

Zenbe does not stop organizing at your emails. There are attachments, for example: automatically extracted, Zenbe groups them as sharable files, and you can label them (though, oddly, there's little connection to email labels). How are the files shared? The same way emails are: by forwarding them — or by adding them to a ZenPage.

On these collaborative memory banks, you can share chats, files, images, links, emails, schedules and tasks. Of course, Zenbe also organizes your personal calendar and to-do lists in an easy to use manner. Zenbe calendar could integrate better with email, though, and detect events, for example.

Space, with Yahoo! Mail, is no issue: you can accumulate as much email as "unlimited" storage will hold.

Of course, you'll want to organize all that mail. Yahoo! Mail offers folders (to which you can drag and drop messages) to hold and decent search (you can use a number of operators to specify senders or dates, for example) to find mail.

Unfortunately, search categories cannot be saved as smart folders — Yahoo! Mail does come with filters that automatically file incoming mail, though — and you cannot freely apply multiple labels to messages. You have to put emails into multiple folders for that kind of organization.

Speaking of filters and folders, Yahoo! Mail comes with solid but, alas, not stellar spam control. It could do better in that area. Of course, Yahoo! Mail scans for viruses and will protect you from web-bugs in unknown senders' messages.

While Yahoo! Mail Plus comes with a few goodies such as POP access and larger messages, IMAP access is missing from all but iPhone Mail. Instead of reaching out to email programs, Yahoo! Mail integrates instant messaging (Yahoo! and Windows Live Messenger) and SMS messages.

In day-to-day use, it is the details that make you love or loathe an email service, of course. Yahoo! Mail not only brings a sleek interface and tabs and drag-and-drop oomph but also keyboard shortcuts around every (round) corner and well-thought-out solutions to many a practical program (such as addressing messages).

GMX Mail opens in a new browser window — and into an experience much owed to desktop email programs. You get toolbars and drag-and-drop and menus and panes and folders and rich-text editing and keyboard shortcuts (which can be a tad cryptic).

Behind GMX Mail's polished interface are robust underpinnings: GMX Mail is highly reliable and comes with 5 GB of online storage. Its virus scanning is exemplary, and a host of spam filters perform solidly — albeit not perfectly. You can mark mail as junk easily, though, and the filters should learn.


If the GMX Mail web interface is not your thing or, maybe even more importantly, to get your mail into and out of GMX Mail, both POP and IMAP access are available. GMX Mail reaches out in the other direction, too: you can set it up to retrieve mail from multiple POP or even Windows Live Hotmail and Yahoo! Mail accounts. Of course, you can send mail with your any address in the From: line.

True to its solid desktop email program roots, GMX Mail gives you folders and filters for sorting mail. You cannot, alas, apply free-form labels or use search folders for even more flexible organizing. GMX Mail does include a handy and fast search feature, of course, including a few search operators. Shortcuts to finding related messages — in the same thread, for example, or mail exchanged with a sender — would be nice.

GMX Mail's address book works well and a lot like the Outlook contacts you love — or at least know. In addition to email and contacts, GMX Mail offers a mature calendar and file storage. The parts could integrate better, though.

AIM is not just instant messaging. AIM is email as well, and it is very good at it. AIM Mail gets you unlimited online storage to keep all your messages and AOL My eAddress throws in a free domain name for good measure. AOL's sophisticated and very efficient spam filtering makes AIM Mail a smooth experience.

Built to look and work like a desktop application, AIM Mail is easy to use and offers a rich though unobtrusive interface (you can drag and drop messages to move them, for example), but it could be a bit snappier in places. Fittingly, AIM Mail includes an AIM client that lets you exchange instant messages right in your browser — and archive them to AIM Mail folders, too.

Searching mail for various criteria works nicely in AIM Mail, and you can flag messages for follow-up. Unfortunately, that's about all AIM Mail has to offer when it comes to helping you cope with the daily avalanche of email. You cannot set up labels or smart folders, and AIM Mail's filtering incoming mail is limited to filing mail.

In a welcome move, AIM Mail compensates for this lack of web-based power with very functional IMAP access, which provides seamless access to your AIM Mail account and all its folders from many email programs. If you prefer POP to download your mail, AIM Mail can do that, too.

Some compensation also comes from the nicely integrated calendar, which lets you create events and to-do items from emails fast. Of course, AIM Mail integrates with AIM instant messaging, too. An AIM panel shows you online contacts, and you can chat right in your browser, from within AIM Mail.

All in all, in spite and partly because of its lack of organizing talent, AIM Mail is a very friendly, clean and usable email service.

Guide Review - Gmail (Google Mail) - Free Email and Chat Service
What do you expect from Google? Search, simplicity and speed? That's what you can get from Gmail, Google's approach to email and web-based instant messaging and group chat.

The interface is simple and elegant, but also remarkably clever with useful keyboard shortcuts and fast operation. A simple HTML version of Gmail should work in all browsers.

Of course, Gmail boasts a search box, which usually returns useful results. But finding single emails precisely is not even the best thing about Gmail. Smarter still is keeping everything in context, always and automatically.

With nary a miss, Gmail identifies the relationships between emails to construct "conversations". You can quickly see what has happened previously, or whether somebody has already replied. Gmail also offers "stars" for quick flagging and free-form color labels that can work wonders to organize an inbox.

If a contact is currently online in either Gmail or Google Talk, you can chat right from Gmail, with the conversation archived and indexed. Turning emails into Google Calendar events is just as easy.

All this makes no sense if you can't keep all relevant data, of course. So Gmail grows as you use it, and you can purchase additional storage. To avoid the truly unneeded mail, Gmail sports efficient and effortless spam and virus filters.

If you do not like the idea of Google displaying ads next to emails based on keywords found in the messages (the emails themselves remain private), you can use encryption or access your Gmail using a POP interface. Even better, the flexible IMAP access offers up all labels as folders.

If, conversely, you want to use the Gmail web interface for all your email, you can have it collect mail from up to five POP accounts automatically and put these accounts' email addresses (and all your others) in the From: line of messages you send.

How to create an email in Gmail.co.id
