ZealMail Offers 3 GB for $3 a month
"The space race in Web-based email continued today when ZealMail unveiled a new $3 USD per month email service that offers 3 MB of space for email. This storage allowance is significantly greater than bigger-name rivals, but users have historically been reluctant to pay for Web-based email systems. For example, Hotmail has both free accounts and fee-based accounts with more space and more options, but Hotmail's free accounts vastly outnumber its fee-based accounts."

Should Yahoo Users Switch to Gmail?

New User Says - Gmail is OK But Not Great
WHAT ONE NEW USER SAYS ABOUT GMAIL: "I have Gmail and use it occasionally. I don't use it for my main email but instead I use it for temporary stuff or when I don't trust a person or company with my real email address. I also use it to keep spam out of my real email account and it's really helped with that. Do I care if they scan my email so they can target advertising to me? Not really. What are they going to learn? "Oh wow, they know that I emailed Charlie and Rich about getting new inline skates, how horrible. My life is ruined". Gmail is not great, and I'm not going to replace my normal email with it, but it has its uses and it performs those tasks well." [Read More in Our Forum]

Non-Google Gmail - UseGmail.com
Look at this! Another Web site is using the name "Gmail" for a product that is not the Google Gmail service: UseGmail.com. But uhhhh... when I do a "whois" lookup that domain is owned by Google! I'm wondering if this product has *always* been owned by Google or (as I suspect) Google took over owning the domain name UseGmail.com at some point. Does anybody know the story behind this?UseGmail.com: A Non-Google Product?Share What You Know in Our Forum
