I could post this in "hot deals" but I'm not really sure it belongs there since there are a lot of free email accounts you can get today. But this site is really neat and I want to publicize it and get peoples opinion, it also offers better features than most free email sites (unlimited email not including attachments etc).
ZOJI.COM is the site, here are the cool things about it (from the What is Zoji page):
A Zoji account gives you the following:
* Free e-mail account, no limits on pure messages, 20 MB limit on document/attachment space (to be increased later as Zoji matures). Note that we will NOT scan your e-mails to figure how to target ads at you.
* Robust spam filters. But as a first line of defense, we encourage you to be careful who you give your e-mail to.
* E-mail forwarding to a secondary account
* Web-based instant messaging, no need to download or install any software
* Friends network, to see how people are connected, our interrelationships, how we all got to know each other
* Event invitations, for organizing parties and gatherings, managing responses and feedback
* Calendar, for visualizing events and personal reminders
* Picture/photo uploading and sharing
* Document uploading and sharing
* Groups, for easy communication with an entire organization, activity clubs, classmates, etc.
* Blogging, for those who enjoy publishing daily rants and thoughts on life
* People search, for meeting new people with similar interests, dating
* Keyboard shortcuts, for those who prefer not to use the mouse
* Privacy controls, to give you control of who gets to see information you enter (anyone, friends only, or just yourself)
Equally important is what Zoji does NOT give you:
* No ads.
* No spam. Zoji uses robust spam filters, and of course we will never send you unwanted e-mail or sell your information to other parties.
* No popups. If we wanted to play "whack-a-mole" we'd go to the local fairgrounds.
* No spyware. We don't even require you to download anything so it isn't even a possibility.
* No annoyances. This is subjective, but we've tried to cut out the glitz in favor of a more plain but fast web site.

Looks like it's based on donations only.

The logo vaguely reminds me of the Google logo (just the colors I guess, that's what I noticed when first opening it).
Are you a part of the site? You might want to consider a maximum size for a single incoming/outgoing email if there isn't one . Maybe like 50MB. It's not likely, but someone could always convert a huge file (like 700MB) to hexadecimal text or something, if there's no limit.

The interface loads a little slowly, for me anyway. But it's not that slow.

I didn't read anything on their site but I'm guessing that they have something in their TOS that lets them change it without notifying anyone and in that they could remove the no ads thing later once they have people using it daily.

Honestly, I have no reason to switch over to it from my hotmail, yahoo, gmail, etc. accounts

I read over the terms of service and it looks saw that eventually ads may be added in a similar way as ads are added in gmail. Right now there are no ads though, although obviously to make any money or even pay for itself they will have to have ads in the future.
I guess I think the site is cool because it's not just about email, it has a lot of other features...
