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

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!

I recently switched from Yahoo to Gmail. So far I am liking it. It is quicker to move around in Gmail than Yahoo. Gmail sends and receives e-mails really fast. Yahoo has been giving me fits lately when it sends an e-mail. Additionally, sometimes I send stuff to myself to back things up. This has been working ok, except for some reason my Yahoo mail has started to think I am spam! It drives me nuts. Gmail hasn't done that. I wanted to switch my Yahoo address on here over to my Gmail address but it said there are too many spammers from Gmail. I used the contact administrator link so hopefully I can get it changed. With the themes Gmail looks great, too! Yahoo changed their look a while back and I have hated it ever since. I agree about the news, too. I don't go to my e-mail to check the news. That is what iGoogle and My Yahoo are for.
