Need to find decent place to open second e-mail account

I don't understand why you can use Yahoo. They offer 100MB of storage and all the goodies. In any case, I have Juno as my email server. It's free and comes with its own software and works really well.

You can't use Yahoo with Outlook Express because they do not support pop access, they want you to visit their site and see the ads that will pay for the service.

Hotmail, however, allows access by Outlook Express and you can use any font and such that you want that way as you will not be limited by hotmails web editor's features.

If you want alternatives the next biggie is MyWay, they are getting big very fast.

agreeing w/ CDK - I use hotmail via my outlook express (which I have configured for all my 'regular' email also). You can have it set for HTML and do whatever you want with your emails.

MyWay offers a very nice, extremely customizeable browser homepage setup too, which includes a "New Mail Alert" feature. Its been my default homepage for years as it is ad-free and allows me to configure an enormous number of news, editorial, technical/scientific, financial, and weather information sources into one instantly accessible, easy-to-reference location. It looks best with IE, but is very acceptable with Firefox, NeoPlanet, Netscape, and Opera. MyWay mail also can be configured to poll other PoP3 accounts, providing a convenient "one-stop" email function -though it does not handle IMAP accounts, such as HotMail. My own MyWay email addy is several years old, has never been used for any signups nor has it appeared in any web posting. It receives absolutely no spam. A quick check just now shows over 500 new messages in my HotMail account, over 400 of which are in the "Junk Mail" folder . I clean it out a couple times a day. Though currently only 6MB free storage is provided with MyWay mail, a scheduled free upgrade due in September will include 125MB storage, plus the capability of handling emails up to 10 MB ea.

Thanks, everyone for the e-mail resources. I'm going to check out myway.com first.
*timberlandko, can you adjust the font size with your myway.com account?

As far as I know, you can set only themes and colors but you can't customize font/textsize in MyWay mail, though you can customize all of it on the MyWay homepage. Nonetheless, I find the Myway mail display quite legible at its default, or "Classic", setting. I'll note I do usually use a big, very high resolution, calibrated CRT monitor driven by a highend video card most of the time, but it shows up just fine to me on machines with lesser monitor/video card combos and a couple smaller, lower resolution laptop displays, too. I like it.

Thanks timberlandko. I just opened an account at myway.com and you can indeed change the font size on the outgoing messages. It's great - easy to work with and no spam. Thanks again!!!

I have been using Yahoo for ages. Its good points are:

1. It hasn't closed down (I went thru about 4 accounts when the Net bubble burst
2. I NEVER get spam!


Any news on the Google email venture?
