Interesting. This does sounds good. Now the only thing missing is finding something effective to deal with the SPAM.

Yahoo mail gives 100mb, and virus protection, and spam filter.

Google mail aka Gmail is 1GB but contains ad's n they scan ur emails for keywords to help get better ad's relating to you.

Hotmail, currently 2mb, but will upgrade to 250mb and virus protection, spam filter also but shit if it works.. i get more spam than legitimate email.

Ive had hotmail for ages, but i also have a yahoo account, and its been 1 month since ive had it and still no spam, i had spam at hotmail after 3 days.. lol crazy!!!

Now this is healthy competition in action! About time. Granted, I won't whine about a great freebie, but 2 megs in this day and age is diminutive. Nice to see the antes being upped, so to speak!

AIM is a virtual space... email is more of an informal means of communication.

Try working at an office for a change and ask wtf u need email for.
