gmail is the best!!! you need to be invited by someone who has a gmail account already though. If you don't know anyone with one I have some invitations left & can send you one but I'd need your current email address.

Try myway

ditto eenywifemum

you can cat me if you like

I like Yahoo - the spam filter is very good.

lycos here

gmail is fab

my cat thingy doesnt work right now but I have an email address I can give if it's needed!

I can send you a gmail address but these addreses now sport the not so sassy @googlemail.com address since they dropped their court case last year and are no longer entitled to use gmail.

However, I rather like the new beta yahoo mailbox.

both offer loads of space but the yahoo one has a more traditional filing system whereby you physically file messages rather than tag and archive them.

Also gmail show you advertising in your mailbox which really bugs me.

Both can be configured to work with Outlook on your desktop.

I use Yahoo and like it, as geekgrrl said, v good spam filter
