[WEB4LIB] Preferred public email accounts

[Steve Garwood]

I taught new users with Yahoo, helped library patrons with Yahoo, and 
personally use Yahoo.

There are others out there, but a lot of people use Yahoo which means there 
are a lot of potentially helpful people out there, or at least a lot of 
people who see the same screens when checking email.

When your patrons ask for advice on what free, web-based email
service to sign up with, what do you advise them? I'd like to find a
service that is obscure enough not to generate great volumes of
spam (like hotmail does) but stable enough to be unlikely to
disappear some day in the near future. I've been suggesting yahoo
as a better alternative to hotmail, but would like to explore some
other options.
