Gmail This email service provided by Google is built on the idea that email can be more intuitive, efficient, useful, and even fun. Aside from the standard email features, Gmail has a built-in spam filter and way to report spam, and has screens that aren't cluttered with ads. Having a Gmail account also gives you instant access to a Google Talk (instant messaging) account and personal blog at blogger.com.
HotMail HotMail provides service in several languages other than English, including Spanish, French, Italian, German, Chinese, and Japanese. After registering, you will have an option to purchase enhanced access. If you want the free account, ignore the advertising and look for the very small link to the 2MB account. If you exceed this limit, some messages may be removed. Please note that service is reportedly slow at times.
