  Web Based Free E-Mail Accounts

Web Based Free E-mail Accounts -- There are several good free web based E-mail services available on the Internet. These are only particularly useful if you do not have your own computer or if you are always on the move.   A major benefit to one of these free E-mail accounts is that you can access it from anywhere in the world.  
(I personally do not like web based email - they tend to attract lots of SPAM.  I would prefer to use one of the free ISPs such as Freeserve or Tiscali etc.)

If you do not have a computer - why not open a free e-mail account with one of the providers listed?  With such an account you can visit your local library or community centre or a friend's house and access your e-mail free.

Below are listed some of the most popular Web Based Free e-mail accounts

• Yahoo -- Reputed to be the most stable with very little problem obtaining messages. Your E-mail address would be XXXXX@yahoo.com where XXXX is an identity you choose. The URL to establish the account is: http://edit.my.yahoo.com/.  beware of spam!
   
• Google Mail is built on the idea that email can be more intuitive, efficient, and useful. And maybe even fun.  Create a google Mail account
  
• Hotmail -- E-mail address would be XXXXX@hotmail.com where XXXX is an identity you choose. The URL to establish an account with Hotmail is: http://www.hotmail.com/. beware of spam!
  
• AltaVista -- Good, powerful and loads reasonably fast. Your e-mail address would be XXXXX@altavista.net where XXXXX is an identity that you choose. The URL to establish an account with AltaVista is: www.mail.com
  
• Freeola used to be my favourite but they are now no longer free - so they are now off my lists - Goodbye freeola
