Free EMail Providers

Free e-mail services are proliferating in cyberspace. The most common form of e-mail, known as POP mail, requires proprietary access to a personal computer and an ISP which will receive and hold your mail. "Web-based" e-mail has the advantage of being accessible from anywhere via any computer with a browser and Web access. "Transit point" e-mail simply collects and forwards email to another current e-mail address, giving you a permanent e-mail address when you might be frequently changing your ISP. Transit point e-mail cannot be used with servers that do not allow changes in delivery options, such as AOL, Compuserve, Prodigy, and Juno. Below is a listing of websites of free email providers.
