    Good Points

    It's free and there are a good selection of domains to choose your address from. Also you can select an option to open an email in a new window, without leaving your inbox, which I suppose is useful for Mac users and people who haven't yet figured out how to use the right click on the mouse... it's not a bad feature for a webmail account to have really.


    Bad Points

    SPAM! Expect to be inundated with everything from Nigerian scam mails to hardcore porno "links". Also the sponsor page is pretty annoying and rather random. Perhaps worst of all is that the server often gets busy, meaning you can't log in sometimes, disastrous if you plan on using it as your primary email account.


    General Comments

    The quality of service is not great. There was a time when people would have tolerated this in return for the service being free. The choice of names could have possibilities for anyone who still feels that the likes of Hotmail and Yahoo has a certain cut-price stigma, but if you need a serious business style account you should really steer clear of Mail.com, as its unreliability could impact badly on you. The spam filter is next to useless. The HTML features don't remotely rival those of Hotmail or Yahoo, yet if you need a more generic webmail service it equally loses out to Fastmail and the like. So ultimately the choice of names is really the only thing on offer from Mail.com.
