Companies like Google, Yahoo and MSN offer services like Gmail, YahooMail and Windows Live Hotmail that are totally free. These days free email accounts such as these are a good choice for many people, because they offer numerous benefits compared to the alternatives.
The alternative to a free email account for most people is to go with an account with your ISP or job. What happens if you move, switch jobs or get a different Internet service provider? Typically you will have to go through an arduous task of contacting everyone you can know to let them know your address is changing, and you may forget to notify some of your friends and family, as well as businesses, stores and online services you are subscribed to. Plus you may lose all your stored contacts and messages.
When you have a free Webmail account, you can just keep the same address when you move or switch ISPs, so you don't have to worry about switching it again. If you go with a huge company like Google or Microsoft for your Webmail, you have very little risk that they will cut off their service or go out of business, so you should be able to keep the address for life. Plus with Webmail, you can access the mail from anywhere with Internet access. Many of the top providers even let you access it through a Blackberry or cellular phone with an Internet browser.
These days Webmail from the best companies also comes with ample space. In fact, they now offer so much space that most users will never need to delete a message. They also come with super features like junk mail filters, virus scanning, and other features to help with security. You can generally keep messages organized with folders or tags, and some even provide fast search abilities so you can find anything in your inbox or sent items very quickly.
