YAW mail
"Yet Another Web Mail". Web-based email service.

I choose web.de because they always had very good test results and they have an excellent Spam and Virus filter.

I chose Hotmail 4 years ago (still have the same address) because it was the most popular one, I guess the only one I really knew about. I have yahoo now, I can't remember why I made it. I like it though because there is tons of storage space. I like Hotmail's layout better though.

I use google mail (gmail) It has a ton of space, is free, and it's just good in general

(and the mail I get with my webspace)

I have an account with Yahoo. I picked them about 5 years ago when I needed an account to use for signing up for all those internet freebies that used to be given away but I didn't want all the spam. I still have the account and use it regularly. It's been 100 times better than my husband's hotmail account that lets through tons of spam.

Netaddress still exists!?! Sheesh, now I feel old :rolleyes: I used net address YEARS ago when my parents first got dailup. Me and this group of friends had this netaddress clique thing going lol cause we were anti Hotmail and anti Yahoo

I primarily use my Yahoo account or my university account now. I sign up for freebe emails just so I can get access to sites and not have to deal with the spam garbage

Oh and you forgot one of my cult favorites: Evilemail.com, I don't know if they still are around but it was funny *in a really gross way* :P do not visit if you are weak of heart!

Wow! I had no idea there were so many! I've got Yahoo and now Google(thanks to Karen :) ) I had hotmail at first but they are horrible on spam so that's why I went to Yahoo.

I used to have only hotmail. Which I don't use no more. But now I use yahoo. :)

Nope. :( I have an icky AOL address. Man o man, I hate AOL.

[email protected]

I wish we had something other than AOL, like DSL or RoadRunner!

I use Hotmail, yahoo and HotPop.

I hate Hotmail. I only use it because I can use Outlook Express for it. My accounts are messed up. Sometimes my emails don't go out or come in.

I'm pretty happy with Yahoo. It's just not as convenient to use for me.

HotPop I don't like at all.
