Another excellent email service is Inbox.com. It's free. Tons of features and
you get 5GB of storage! The home page can also be personalized.
http://www.inbox.com
Btw, a review of the many web-based and free services from Zoho is also worthy
of your time.
Spreadsheets, Wiki tools, presentation builders, word-processing, and many other
resources. All free.
http://www.zoho.com
I love how the word processing tool, Zoho Writer, offers a large number of
templates that make certain writing chores a breeze.
The even offer a free polling tool. ZohoPolls.
cheers,

> Good luck! We just went from outlook to Gmail, and I don't like it. Even our
