Webmail Smackdown! - Comments Page 2

I've used AOL mail as my primary address since I had to pay by the hour. Now it's free. I've also got a gmail and a yahoo address. Neither is as easy to use as AOL. I love that I can search my mail so easily.
Down side with all of them is not being able to embed pictures in my emails. Everything ends up as attachments. I send email messages to my 94 year old mother who can open emails, but get's confused trying to wrestle with attachments. I'd open a new account if it allowed me to embed photos.

Hotmail now allows free POP3 access

I have both Gmail and Yahoo but I suggest you check GMX mail. It has many nice features.

Hotmail does have free POP3 and you can block the ads with FFX's ABP. That is good.

Gmail is incredible itself. But when you add the wonderful features you can pick from through Google Labs, it's a slam dunk for Gmail.

And if you need even more reasons, the calendar features of Gmail practically run our family's life... multiple calendars, color coded, SMS/e-mail notifications and calendar sharing just to name a few.

And by the way, there is a Lab add-in that allows you to have drag-and-drop in Gmail.

Yahoo has right click actions (mark as read, delete, etc - looks almost like the right click action list in outlook).
