Advice needed : New e-mail account

It does, but what if I'm at a shared computer and don't want my account to show up on the list? That's what I'm on about.

 

Advice needed : New e-mail account

If you require privacy, host your own email service or create your own domain and get a trustworthy host. Nothing is private online with those companies as you agree to them doing anything they want with your data when you sign up. If you are not overly fussed, I would probably suggest Gmail.

I think Gmail has the best customization features compared with Outlook and Yahoo. I also think Gmail to be the 'friendly' one for multi-web tasking.

Replies from other people and features such as in-mail is dependant on the website and forum which differs from site to site. I believe they are all equal in this regard.

You can always use something like Microsoft's Outlook to have all your accounts logged in at the same time. With IMAP you can have everything synced, always. This includes calendar's, schedules, mails, contacts etc etc.
