When another.com sold its soul to the dotcom devil, I had to go searching for a new, free email provider. I never really liked hotmail having heard that you frequently get lots of junk mail. So, a friend told me about email.com and I tried it out.
Signing up for your free account is quick and easy. The choice of possible addresses is good (although - may have declined as the sites popularity has grown) and it's fab because the last bit is so easy to remember - email.com. Passwords are case sensitive now though - so pay attention! I didn't and found that the reply to my resulting query was rapid and helpful.
The system itself is incredibly simple and standard really. You can store files, attaching things is dead simple even for a technophobe such as myself and navigation is childsplay.
But, and there almost always is one, you will get fed up with the advertising - pop up windows that drive you mad. Still, it just takes one click and they are away, so in balance it's hardly a major issue.
The system is generally reliable, fast and simple. So, if you are looking for a new email address - go with this nice simple option.

Sorry for the low rating - but you really don't tell us much about the service. I'd agree that email.com is a decent service, having used it for over a year. Pretty reliable, little or no spam and has the usual range of facilities.
