SubscribeFree 5GB E-Mail Service From Inbox.com
I am suprised to find such a fast and convenient e-mail service that is completely free.Gmail offered a service with 2GB 
storage space which caught many of us by suprise and just think of the reaction when considering 5GB of online storage space.
Inbox.com does just that with some great additional features that will make you think twice about your current email.Your Mail in inbox.com can be accessed by either the web or a POP enabled mail client such as Microsoft Outlook.Their web interface is designed to be fast and reliable.Also the text editor offers all the capabilities found in many of the popular services currently out there.
You can organize mail using stars, custom folders and automatic filters.Remote images in emails can be blocked from automatic download in Inbox.com to protect your privacy.Inbox.com lets you view mail in threads and supports rich HTML formatting in outgoing messages.You can send messages up to a size of 30 MB from Inbox.com.
In addition to a very useful email service,inbox.com offers services such as free photosharing.Your photos can be stored in their server to share with your friends and family.Those photos can be even be organized into albums.
There are a few drawbacks to be considered before you decide to use it.For one,this service does not allow the use of IMAP access .Also labels and smart folders found in services such as gmail are not visible in inbox.com.They should certainly improve on those aspects and so could become even more appealing than it is now.

Be warned that this service is slow to send outbound e-mails. Testing shows typical delays of 10 to 15 minutes, or longer. E-mail is not an immediate communications venue, like a chat room, but that is too long a delay. The delay can be seen by reviewing the Received headers to see when you submitted the e-mail (also check your own e-mail client just in case what they list is different) to when it finally submits it to the target (recipient’s) mail host.
Also, every outbound e-mail that you send through their “free” service will get spamified. That is, they will append spam onto your outbound e-mails sent through their service. There was no spam signature when using their webmail interface, only when using their POP3 access (which is the only means that I intend to use to provide for local management of my e-mails). So be aware that your outbound e-mails sent through their POP3 server will probably be seen as spam. Lots of other “free” e-mail services do this, too, so it is something to watch for. Personally I never use any “free” service that generates spam “on my behalf”. Free should not equate to spam.
Be aware that their description of their POP3 access is that it is currently in beta testing during which that service will remain free. Once it is out of beta, they reserve the right to change the conditions of its use. Well, duh, guess what that means? When it is no longer beta, they are going to charge for it.
