Hey chaps, I got invited by a friend of mine in California for having a gmail account. As of date Gmail is by invitation only. Gmail is the email from google - the popular internet search engine. There is absolutely no advertising or spam and the email is fast. In yahoo, hotmail the ads take a long time to load. But in gmail there are no ads.
The interface is clean and simple and best of all one has 1GB space. The only catch is that you have to be invited to use gmail and it is not open to the members of the general public. A gmail invitation sells for $50 TO $100 on ebay.
But not to worry. For those of you who do not have friends in California or people who can send you an invite try https://walla.com. This email service is like Gmail and is clean and simple with 1GB space.
Rediffmail also offers 1GB space but for those of you who hate spam, advertisements and pop ups, walla is nice and better than rediffmail. I find rediffmail quicker to use but walla is not that bad. Try it!
