Who do recommend as an email service provider?

Who do recommend as an email service provider?


Currently I am using Yahoo. What I don鈥檛 like about yahoo is in order for me to go from one email account to another I need to fist sign out and then type in my username and password. I want to go to any of my email accounts with just a mouse click.


Thank you

Who do recommend as an email service provider?
You're not going to be able to find this functionality with any major webmail provider, as far as I know. Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail/Live Mail, all require you to sign out first if you want to use another account.





A workaround would be to use the POP3 service of the webmail provider (only gmail is free) and setup a desktop mail client, like Outlook Express (XP) or Windows Mail (Vista) to grab the email. Then, instead of checking all your email accounts through the web browser, you could use the desktop mail client instead.





POP3 access with Yahoo Mail Plus is $20/year, Hotmail/Live Mail Plus is $20/year, GMail is free.
Reply:That's not an issue with Yahoo, it's an issue with you.





Either consolidate your accounts into one email account, or forward the other accounts onto a primary one.





Alternatively, use a local email client such as Outlook or Thunderbird which can download emails from all accounts into one place.
