The Evolution of Free Email Accounts

Written by Tony

Here's how it seems free email accounts have progressed - based on how people tell me that their email addresses have changed:

Hotmail.com (pre-Microsoft / MSN when it was cool).
Juno.com
Yahoo.com
Gmail.com

Some other ones that I've seen:

Whalemail
Inbox.com
Charter.net (local)

I really like Yahoo Mail. I'm also on Gmail but I think it's for a certain kind of person that I'm not that kind of person. It's nice to have email forward there and look at email from a "conversation" point of view, but I use my inbox like a to-do list so it drives me crazy having so many things going on without folders.
