    I tell you Colin, I really liked this windows mail…but since I like all my free stuff I found out that my basic Yahoo account does not hook up to it Unless I get an upgrade on the mail. But I don’t want to pay.

    Does Gmail work with it? I mean does the free basic one, or do you pay a little more for better mail service?

    I used to use msn/hotmail years ago but i found that with the out-of-date satellite links on the ship I worked on then, Yahoo would load the fastest while hotmail lagged so much you could bring a book to read to the terminal and hope it didn’t time out.

    Hi Tyrone
    Yes you can get gmail to forward your e-mail to another pop3 mail box, if you don’t have one of those you just access your gmail via your web browser.

    They provide 2.8gig of online storage.

    Google takes care of the spam and malicious content as well so it’s a much safer than having content actually arrive in Windows Mail.

    Anyone who uses Outlook Express should really be looking at having their e-mail hosted on the web gmail style.

    It’s free, safer and is accessible from any internet connected computer in the world.

    Colin
