E-mail has to be one of THE most important ways of communication in the modern world, and contrary to belief, it was in fact around before the Internet ever was. Another.com is one of the many Internet-based e-mail services, and is among the best I have seen. With other accounts (e.g, Yahoo, uboot, Hotmail etc), you have a log-in name, which acts as your email account, for example, johnsmith@hotmail.com. With another.com, it's different. You still have a log-in name, so you would have johnsmith@another.com, but you can also sign up to up to 20 addresses within that account, with around 1000 different domain names, @chickens.com, @haveaniceday.co.uk, @just about anything! They all go into the same inbox too, so instead of signing in to multiple accounts for various addresses, you sign in once, and all your business mail comes in through one address, all your fun email through another. The filters work really well too, and if you use them in conjunction with the folder system, its even better, as you can assign a filter to move mail to a certain folder, a la Outlook, but it is so much simpler to use! another.com is definitely a great account to sign up to for those people with email accounts all over the place. One disadvantage is that it is occasionally slow to recieve and send mail, but otherwise it's great!

I like it and use it because you can make the names so expressive.

sounds great upto 20 different e-mail accounts..one for ciao! one for..etc, etc one question.. though what is storage space allowed? i.e for hotmail its only 2Mb, yahoo is 6mb, what is another.com? thanks, CH
Advantages: loads of unique addresses, only need one account for up to 20 addresses, choose you own colour scheme Disadvantages: doesn't have MSN - but thats just being greedy
