Mail, Hotmail and three other e-mail programs. Mail gets the slight edge because it lets users import address book information and receive instant-message notification about incoming mail. However, we downgraded this site because there's no explanation of the criteria used by the reviewers. NetAddress and AltaVista receive the most favorable mentions. Although it provides a fair amount of detail about nearly a dozen services, we don't find this site quite as useful as some others, mainly because the blurbs are uncritical in nature and the content doesn't appear to have been updated in the past year.
Mail also receive praise here.
Epinions invites members to submit their opinions on free Web e-mail providers. Surprisingly, one-third of respondents have negative things to say about Hotmail, especially complaining about the abundance of spam on this system. All Rights Reserved. Inc.
