Free Email

It's no problem to find free email servers on the Internet. The only problem is deciding which one (or which ones) you like best. Here is list of a few that you can investigate.

Hotmail from Microsoft appears to be one of the most popular free email services. You can read your mail via the Web, or you can fetch your mail using Outlook Express (or another mail client). Go to http://lc1.law13.hotmail.passport.com/cgi-bin/login to check out Hotmail.

My Own Email (http://www.myownemail.com/moe4/login/default.cfm) offers you a selection of domain names such as rednecks.com, hehe.com, keg-party.com, and so on.

Go to http://mail.yahoo.com/ to read about Yahoo Mail.

AmExMail (American Express) at http://www.amexmail.com is free, permanent, and you can get your mail off the Internet no matter where you are.

This list is by no means complete. There are many more free email services available. The one thing they all have in common is that they get to collect a lot of personal information about you. This is why they're free.
