Hotmail from MSN is my personal choice. It offers more space than you could possibly ever use. It’s accessible and now has the live version. However people often complain about the large banner ads at the side of the screen. Something I never even noticed.

7) Email:
The biggest advantage of email’s free web mail service is in the name. It’s not easy to forget an email that ends in email.com. This clever marketing is leading to many people signing up to the email. However it doesn’t have the power or storage space of some its large rivals.
