Hello,
Well it is a problem that I faced and I am sure that there are many others like me who too are facing the same problem i.e choosing the right mail service. When I choose for my mail provider I have three to four criteria in my mind:
1) Free Mail
2) Reliability and Security
3)Sufficient Storage Space and
4) Lightening Speed
Whether it is yahoo, hotmail, lycos or any other mail provider the biggest problem one faces is that of space and speed. Friends since the day I found takeitcool.com my worries are over. It not only provides you with a 15 MB mailbox thats for free but has many other features too. It tracks the mails that you send and when it is read by the receiver it sends you the confirmation. Furthermore the site is secured and doesnt pose any security problems and speed too is pretty high.
Guys do give takeitcool.com a try and see the difference.
