Simple Web Based E-mail
 
I like to keep a web base e-mail account for dealing with online stuff, however Yahoo mail is just getting too much. All I want is to be able to send and receive e-mails.

Everytime I log onto Yahoo they have changed it so I can connect and share.

I don't want to.

Any alternatives that are dead simple like it used to be.

Not banned, just blocked from registering. Ask Neal for an exception, can't hurt.

Freemail (web.de) http://web.de/fm/

I'm using it exclusively since ten years or so, for all my accounts. No spam, so security breaches, once a week a single advert mail by them that you can simply, safely delete, unread.

Said to be the leader in Germany, and leading the test results of magazines since many years.

Google-services I would not trust one inch. Google is a data kraken.

P.S. If you need help with the German registration formula, let me know.

I've had MSN hotmail for the last 10 years or so. No complaints here.

I agree with getting Gmail. Its straight and to the point.

There are no advertisements, or "News" like there is with Yahoo.

I hate when I have to check my mother or my girlfriends Yahoo accounts because it takes forever just to get to the flipping mail.

I have gmail, and I am not banned.

I use Windows Live Mail with my verizon email address. No adds, no crap, just email. Period.

Sailor Steve 01-15-10 12:22 PM

I use www.myway.com

No pop-ups. Editable to suit your taste. News, sports, all that crap. Easy-to-use email.

Jimbuna 01-15-10 12:37 PM

Used Hotmail for many years now....never let me down.

I maintain a few for different sites.

Spike88 01-15-10 01:07 PM

If you were to link your Yahoo account with Microsoft outlook it would rid you of all the crap also.

As a side not I'm also registered to the forums with my gmail account.

Righto, we have not blocked "googlemail" yet, so far, they are not spammer prone. Just gmail. And when a prospective member contacts th admin and asks to join using his gmail, I manually add him, no problem. But if we unblock gmail, spam galore!
