I have been using email.com for a few months now. It's free, easy to log on, and I like the design. It's easy to read your mails on screen, too - not too much scrolling down the page, unlike some some email services I've used.
The main problem with it has been it is just very, very slow. And I mean SLOW. It can take several minutes to access, or delete a single message. I have no idea whether this is just my PC, my connection or if it is a general problem. But it's driving me mad!! I tend to use the e-mail account for mailing lists, so the amount of mail in my mailbox can mount up rather - but it's never been more than about 200 messages in the Inbox, and maybe 100 messages saved in folders. And my Inbox has never been more than 18% full.
Basically, because I receive a lot of emails this way, at the moment it feels like I can't read and manage my e-mails any quicker than they are arriving!
The site does appear to go down quite regularly, too. I also use carrotmail, which is better in many ways, and much faster (the design isn't as good as e-mail.com, though - even though it has been improved recently) - but I'm reluctant to switch to that for all my email, because I like to keep the bulk of the mailing list stuff separate.
So I'm still searching for a good hotmail provider...
