Advantages: Less Spam Disadvantages: Site down-time
I have used Angelfire for about 2 years now, as an extra email address initially and then as a main one after I found that someone had been accessing my Hotmail account (what a nice person they were).
Angelfire provides a free, web based email service, quite similar to Hotmail, except I haven’t had the same problem with getting spam. Angelfire is run by Lycos, a well known name on the web.
One problem I am going ... ...occasions Angelfire’s server goes down, so meaning that emails "bounce" leaving people thinking that your email account is not working or that your inbox is full. I first found this out when I noticed some missing emails from a yahoo group that I am in, the Yahoo site was able to tell me that due to "no response" from Angelfire (I'm assuming this is down-time) they were unable to send my emails to me.

One problem I am going to point out right at the start is that on occasions Angelfire’s server goes down, so meaning that emails "bounce" leaving people thinking that your email account is not working or that your inbox is full.

It is fairly easy to sign up to Angelfire. One thing that I like about Angelfire is that it is easier to obtain the user name that you wish to have (if it’s important to you), as there are fewer people that have signed up here than for example Yahoo or Hotmail.
When you sign up to Angelfire you will get yourname@angelfire.com and 4MB of storage space - 2MB more than Hotmail.
When you sign up you are asked to provide a username and password, similar to other web based accounts. They then ask you for some personal information. Some of these fields are mandatory.
Then you can click sign up and that should be you!
When you sign in, you will be taken to a page that tells you how many new email messages you have. Clicking on this will take you to your inbox. Upon arriving at your inbox, any new messages that you have will be highlighted using a dark bold blue link in the subject line. To the left of this will be the person who sent the mail’s name, and to the right of the subject you will find the date and the size of the message.
Clicking on the dark blue link takes you to the email.
At the top of this page there is various options :
Inbox - as described befroe Send Mail - where you can compose you own emails Address Book - where you can store email adresses Folders - you can organise your email in various folders to keep thing tidy Check other Email - this account lets you set up POP accounts from other email servers. Options - this allows you to block spam (YAY!), edit your message controls, write your own signature to attach to emails, have an auto reply if you are not going to be able to access your emails for a while just to let people know, account information and details on how to subscribe to their newsletters.
In all, I think Angelfire offers as much as some of the other big web based email providers do, without the spam of Hotmail… the only problem is the downtime of the site.. which is actually a big downside as you tend to lose emails - not a good thing if you are expecting something important!
Advantages: fully automated, with option to code purely in html, free Disadvantages: as with all free hosting, banner/pop-up ads
Introduction ...
When I first got in to web design (about 4 years ago) I created a number of sites using Angelfire and was very pleased with how it worked in terms of being easy to understand and pick up, and offering advice and help at each stage of the development of your site. A few weeks ago I started helping a friend create a site using angelfire, which is what has inspired me to write this article. Registering ...

You get a URL that is 'http://www.angelfire.com/something/yoursite/' the 'something ranges from a combination of letters and numbers to phrases such as 'theforce' or boybands' This is a bit long for visitors to be typing in to the address bar, so my advice would be to get a free re-directed name from CJB.net (http://yoursite.cjb.net) What else you ...

If you want a fast, free e-mail account, take a look at angelfire.
After becoming fed up the slowness of excite, I looked for an alternative e-mail account. After looking around a bit, and not being able to choose an account with the user name I wanted, I found angelfire. Since signing up to angelfire, I've been really happy with my account. Firstly and most important to my mind is the fact that the site works very fast, something I've found all ... ...no problems not being able to send mail because their server is down or too busy. Secondly, because it's less popular than the hotmails of this world, you can choose a name you want, rather than ending up being Joe_Bloggs_55 or something equally useless. However, there are a couple of downsides. There is only 4mb of space, so if you get sent lots of large e-mails with attachments, this isn't really for you, but if your generally a text only person, ...
