Yahoo! Mail

Yahoo! Mail is a Web-based email (webmail) service from Yahoo!. Inaugurated in 1997, Yahoo! Mail serves over 260 million users with a 67-petabyte server in the California region.[2] Currently, Yahoo! offers two versions of Yahoo! Mail: an Outlook-like Ajax interface powered by Yahoo!'s Zimbra introduced in 2007, as well as the traditional static-web-page "Yahoo! Mail Classic," which continues the availability of the simpler 1997-2006 interface for the brand's considerable installed base of users. In early 2008, Yahoo! started offering unlimited mail storage even to its non-paying users, in response to heated competition in the free-webmail market segment.

having a few free email accounts is best, and with many free email providers i choose
mail.yahoo.com
which works best for me.


Free version

Unlimited Mail Storage.
10 MB attachments (20 MB for the Plus version)
Protection against spam and viruses.
Advertising is displayed on the screen while working with the e-mail account.
POP3 support, Mail Forwarding facility, and SMTP support in some countries (but not in the US).
Accounts not logged into for four months get deactivated (The account can be retrieved but all stored data such as email is lost).
Early in 2006, Yahoo! Mail introduced aliases to its repertoire of features. Users could now add a (single) alias username containing a dot character for a pre-existing account.
The Chinese version of Yahoo! Mail offers 3.5 GB quota and 20 MB attachments.
Some users get features added if they are long time users.
Latest beta of Yahoo! Zimbra desktop allows for all Yahoo! users to use the software
Users can get around the Web browser access restriction by using software that simulates a POP3 server to which the e-mail application connects. YPOPs! and FreePOPs are examples of free software applications that allow e-mail clients access to webmail (including Yahoo! Mail) services through POP3.



Business version

Yahoo! Business E-mail is a combination of all their e-mail services with 10 distinct accounts each with the same features of the plus version and personalized domain name and e-mail address. Accounts can be managed by an administrator. There is $25 set-up fee and $9.99 monthly fee to use this service. Unfortunately yahoo is apparently still working out how to allow their business mail clients to access their email accounts from certain mobile smart phones and PDAs. According to yahoo's website, for now, you can access your Business Email only from a BlackBerry. Yahoo says it plans to make business email compatible with more devices in the future.

Unlimited Mail Storage
10 E-mail quota.
Additionally, a user can pay $35 per year to have up to five custom e-mail addresses and a domain name.
Yahoo! mail underlines addresses and phone numbers in email and allows the user to add them to the address book.



But which ever free email providers you choose make sure you try to make your username id some what related with your business or service.
