So the question is, who is the future of email? Is it yahoo,
hotmail, or
Gmail? Well, Gmail and Hotmail, allow you to use pop3 or Imap with no
charge, yahoo has cleaned up there page to make it screen reader
friendly,
and hotmail also allows your storage to grow as you need it. So
what does
everyone prefer, 1 of the 3 above choices, or your internet provider
like
Comcast, roadrunner, or Verizon? Just curious on all of you guys,
and girls
thoughts.
I prefer to use my own e-mail service. It is relatively inexpensive
to register a domain and pay for web or e-mail only hosting. The
following advantages are why I chose this method.
1. Almost all e-mail hosting services provide pop / imap hosting
2. Many services provide several web-mail interfaces to choose from
3. If you have pop access you can use the accessible e-mail client of
your choice
a. Past messages are always available on your system, regardless of
Internet access
b. You can compose e-mails without Internet access and have the client
send them when you are ready
4. Your address stays the same regardless of changing ISPs or the need
to change web-based mail providers because of accessibility issues.
5. If you manage your own mail server you can control exactly what
technologies are used for mail exchange and spam filtering
