Which Webmail Service Do You Use?

worm eater asks: "I've been hosting my email with my web site host for some time, although a while back I used commercial services such as Yahoo! and Hotmail. I liked Yahoo!, but was disappointed to hear that they stopped offering free POP3 access. So I'm looking for a good, free webmail host for a friend of mine that supports POP3 -- because sometimes you don't want to have to deal with a web interface, no matter how well designed. And it's nice to be able to store messages indefinitely. What do you recommend?" This was last asked two years ago, but webmail is more prevalent now than it was then, so maybe better options are available. Readers interested in security with their webmail might find this discussion interesting, as well.

Interland...

One of my websites is hosted via Interland, which offers web-based access to email.

Can't say I recommend them, though - they've been dropping so much mail because of the recent virus attacks that I've had to set up my own mail server and use theirs only as a secondary. Their customer service is awful, too - the representative I talked to resorted to outright lying in order to avoid taking responsibility for the missing email.

Come to think of it, I'd avoid them like the plague.
