thanks!
just a note about gmx. signed up with it since last year and thought was
rated highly with fepg.net, subsequent problems similar to yahoo really
frustrated the users. The main problem is that there aren't any nice names
left!!!!!! really frustrating!
signed up with inbox.com. heard from others that the site is pretty reliable
and the storage capacity of 100MB and attachement size of 10MB are really
attractive.
pity that suisse.com is no longer in my list. really liked it though!!!
