Simple Web Based E-mail

XabbaRus · 01-15-10, 06:26 AM

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.

No it doesn't!

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

Spike88 · 01-15-10, 10:34 AM

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!
