What Web-Based Email Service Do You Use?

Technodummy asks: "I travel a lot, and need a reliable webmail address. Since Hotmail was taken over, it's gone downhill, but I haven't be able to find a reliable replacement. I also share a net account, so POP is not the answer. Any ideas?" What things do you all like about web-based email services and what aspects of them do you think can be improved on? Are there any services out there that allow you to use HTTPS to retrieve your mail rather than plain old HTTP?

Webmail services

[mikers]

I went looking for an webmail service some time ago for the same reason, and that I was moving a lot and was tired of having to constantly retire email addresses and get new ones with different ISPs.

A really good web site that sums up all free webmail services is : http://www.emailaddresses.com/

Particularly, check their free POP/IMAP-webmail providers. Also has reviews and user comments, and feature comparisons.

Through them I found www.mailandnews.com, which is my current favorite webmail. mailandnews offers 10MB email space, address book, email forwarding, POP3/IMAP, both unsecure and secure servers for webmail, and very little in the way of intrusive advertising. Its very good for reliability and is pretty fast.

Highly recommended
