koi keeper Moderator Posts: 3203 Kudos: 2033 Votes: 240 Registered: 29-Dec-2001	ok, I have killed my hotmail account again (100% full ) My aol account is a pain because it erases old messages and read messages, and has to go through no less than 2 steps to get the option to check the mail. I have a fp one, but I need to keep it for site based issues And I really try to keep my work account for well work So any suggestions for good email providers out there (free or paid). I have cox for my internet access, but never could get their system figured out (they came out and charged me three times and still never got the email right, so I just use their cable modem and call it good). I need: 1. Ability to send/receive very large files and multiple file attachments. 2. Large storage space for inbox. Lets face it, I have issues with the delete button. 3. Saved sent messages. 4. Ability to go through the mailbox (page numbered) and not have 600 messages try to appear on one huge scroll list at once. Not looking to crash my computer... 5. Hopefully spam filter and ability to block senders 6. Optional virus scan would be nice for incoming mail. Now that I look at the list, am I looking for too much?

Yahoo has a mail base that you pay for that will give you all of what you ask for, With yahoo if you don't want all of your messages in the in box to pop up every time you check email, send sent messages to their appropriate folder after you have read them. I have used the free version of yahoo for just about as long as I have know of the Net. It has served me well.

iltat Mega Fish Posts: 1076 Kudos: 1216 Votes: 0 Registered: 14-Oct-2002	I've used Yahoo Mail for...going on on 8 years now. They just recently made my mailbox huge (100MB) since gmail has started up. I can block addy's, you can set a personal option to only view your msg's from 10 at a time to 100 at a time, I save all sent msg's, I can attach up to 5 files at a time and up to 10MB total per email, it's free, has a Spamguard that you can specialize as to where it sends your spam, and I've never had problems with it. I highly recommend it PM/email/msg me if you have any questions/comments regarding me or my knowledge or if you want me to read a thread.

kitten Fish Guru Meow? Posts: 2266 Kudos: 2194 Votes: 19 Registered: 18-Nov-2003	Hotmail is supposed to be following yahoo's lead and giving us nice big inboxes... one of these days. They've been saying that for over a month, though. rolls eyes If you want to wait around for that, of course. ~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~

houston Fish Guru You want what when? Posts: 2623 Kudos: 2462 Votes: 337 Registered: 29-Mar-2003	Go with yahoo, I've had it for quite some time...I used to overflow and they would let me go for 120% of the size, since they've enlarged the mailbox size though I don't even hit 20% and I don't delete more times than not...Best of luck... There is also evildeadclowns.com it can pass through a lot of filters also...just have to deal with the email being addressed to: "whatever"@evildeadclowns.com :%) "I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom."
