Recommend a free email client...

[David]

As many of you know, I have been stuck in the dial up phase for 12 years due to my location. The only thing available is satellite and the start up cost is ridiculous.

I recently discovered the Sprint Compass Sierra 597 USB Modem and am getting a 60-80% rate in regards to broadband! Even at 60%, it is blowing away dial-up. I plan on dropping my second phone line and my ISP if the test period of a few weeks goes ok (just got the usb modem tonight).

The dilema is sprint doesn't offer an email addy with the card. What is the best current free option? I have had them all but never utilized them...had hotmail, yahoo, and gmail. Couldn't even tell you my login names anymore!

So what is my best switch over in regards to performance and lack of spam. My instinct tells me gmail but wanted to check.

Thanks!
David

I have had Yahoo for 9+ years and love it.

I have my homepage set to Yahoo (my.yahoo.com) and have customized it with modules that show the news, sports, weather, email, calendar, etc.

Do I need another gmail invite or can I try to figure out my old username and password?

No invite needed try your old info if it doesn't work it takes 5 minutes to sign up for another one.

no invite is required anymore if you can get the invite via your cell phone! Or I'm sure plenty of bros have gmail would be willing to help you out.

Hey David...why not try out one of those cool "at botl dot org" email addy's? I think if you PM a a guy named Vipe he might be able to hook you up:rofl:

I've got hotmail, yahoo, and gmail. hotmail is a little finicky when I try to get in via iTouch, but they're all pretty much the same.

 

[njstone]

GMAIL is the best I've used, IMO. I have lots of others and that's what I've stuck with.

Gmail's the chite like people before me have said.. its great and gives you two email addresses plus you can use labels quite effectively to organise stuff e.g. if your email is dave@gmail.com and you want all cigar newsletters to go to your cigars folder, when signing up for newsletters etc you can sign up with dave+cigars@gmail.com, then specify all email coming to that address to go directly to the cigars folder.. its easier than it sounds.

Hmm, I have a Yahoo, but I may look into gmail! The hype has gotten me interested!
