Advantages: Ease of use, reliability, features Disadvantages: None
Most of us have our permanent e-mail accounts and most of us also prefer having an additional e-mail address with a free e-mail provider.
I decided several years ago to get an additional e-mail address so as to avoid receiving firstly junk mail on my main e-mail account, which arises when you sign up for various web based rewards programs, and secondly to have a second e-mail address for convenience purposes.
The first name that usually comes to ... ...my first impulse was to go there. However I was regularly receiving messages from one of my friends in South America with a very convenient e-mail address of “hisname@usa.net”
So I decided to check out “Net Address” who were the ones providing this service.
I was very impressed.
There are many features that this free e-mail provides, both to the new user and more experienced users, some of which I will try and list as follows:

Advantages: ease of use, v.reliable Disadvantages: none really
If netaddress was better marketed, it would now be the no.1 company for free web based email. Why it isn't, isn't really your or my problem but having used it for 5 years now, I can heartily recommend it.
So why?
1. Reliability.
Every other month or so, they upgrade their system but they let you know. In the meantime, you can't access your mail, but it is very, very rare that their system crashes.
- ease of use
The mail system was made for monkeys, ... ...thing
- security
On logging in to the mail system, you can select a variety of security options, so this is down to you.
2. Services offered
You get a 5MB capacity mailbox,which can be increased upon payment.
Netadress offers the following services (copied in from the site). They used to charge for some of these, looks like they don't now. Collecting: Collect email messages from other POP3-compliant email accounts and consolidate them in your ...

Advantages: Like Jack Benny: I'm thinking, I'm thinking. Disadvantages: One or two of the many are described in the review.
I have had an account with netaddress for about 8 years. For what it offers, it is not competitive with Google. Every month there is a problem with netaddress - currently I can't access my account because it announces that:
"Secure Connection Failed www.netaddress.com uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate will not be valid until 2/15/2008 6:22 PM.
(Error code: sec_error_expired_certificate)
* This could be a problem with the server's ... ...server.
* If you have connected to this server successfully in the past, the error may be temporary, and you can try again later."
No doubt this will be solved in a day or so - meanwhile I can't access my site. And when it is solved, some new debacle will arrive. The only reason I keep paying the thing is that it's on business cards and stationery and around and about, making it inconvenient to do anything but curse.
I'm supposed to say what I ...

Review of netaddress.com
Advantages: Good uptime... Disadvantages: Everything else is mediocre at best
Probably one of the oldest webmail services out there. I've had an address since 1996, and can't really see anything special about it. Their service has hardly been upgraded since I started using it. It offers the usual features (POP pickup, etc) and the 5Mb space is quite enough for most users.
It can be a bit daunting logging in - you will almost certainly get an "Intrusion Detected" notice every time. Why that happens, and why they haven't fixed ... ...to use cookies instead which will eliminate those errors, but it still shouldn't be necessary.
Thankfully, it has a good uptime, and any problems that may occur are well noted in advance. Anyway, why would someone from the United Kingdom want a usa.net email address? Still, useful for a backup I suppose. ...

Advantages: quick Disadvantages: no free option to forward mail
Net address offers in my opinion the most reliable email service on the web. I have never had performance problems using this unlike any other email services. netaddress offers all if not more utilities than other mail users. The time from sending from one server to netaddress is very quick it comes up instantly. Technical support is well documented and if there is going to be an outage users are notified days in advance. Registration is simple and ...
