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 mind when you think “free e-mail” is Hotmail and naturally my first impulse was to go there. However I was regularly receiving messages ... more

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.

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 it, I just don't know. You can click a box to use cookies instead which will eliminate those errors, but it still shouldn't be necessary ... more

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 the forms dont crash like others i have used. Net address is well presented and easy to navigate. ... more

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: secerrorexpiredcertificate) * This could be a problem with the server's configuration, or it could be someone trying to impersonate the server. * If you have connected to this server successfully in the past, the error ... more
