Free E-mail with large Transfer...Need suggestions...

[RussianSoldier]

I'm looking for a free web-based e-mail provider that has a storage capacity at or above 10mb that allows file transfers of more than 1mb. I seem to be having problems finding a provider. Anyone know of any services?

It's not free but it's VERY DIRT CHEAP.

If you don't already have a domain then register a domain with NameCheap.com for $8.88/yr

Then sign up for FREE WEBHOSTING with Brinkster.com which gives you 30MB/500MB or sign up for RippleHost.com at $4.99/yr which gives you 100MB/1GB.

If you go with NameCheap + Brinkster = Total $8.88/yr or 74 cents per month and your e-mail capacity is 30MB

They don't exist. I guess they finally realize that giving stuff away means you eventually go out of business. Funny how that works, isnt it?

Well, I'm using BoxFrog right now, but it's rather unreliable...

How reliable is ripplehost.com, Ross? I've been looking for a cheap web host since I don't do much with my site, and if this is reliable, it'll be way cool.

Hubris - RippleHost is quite reliable (they're owned by SplashHost.com) as long as you remember two things:

1) While creating your account make sure that everything you enter is PERFECT, not a single mistake because fixing it later is almost near impossible.
2) Do not expect any helpful tech support.

But for only $4.99/yr it's quite a bargain, 100MB webspace (including your own www.website.com, e-mail addresses, FTP, webmail, and more), 1GB a month bandwidth, cPanel, that's quite a bit for only $4.99/yr.

Just to throw out another free email provider... they are supposed to be good, but I have a hard time switching emails from my popular hotmail acct. :|

Zapo.net ... see if they fit your criteria.

Done and done, Ross. Thanks, man. I was gonna wait, but you convinced me I should go ahead and do it now. Now I just have to wait for it to propogate.

Hubris - Glad to hear you didn't have any problems, $5/yr is mad cheap.

Some people I know even purchased multiple hosting accounts, one for domains, one for webmail, etc.
