E-Mail Services

The four free e-mail services (Hotmail, Yahoo, Lycos, Net@ddress) work through advertising, much as radio and television do. The consumer (you) gets free e-mail in exchange for putting up with ads. The upside of this is that the adds generally appear as small banners on the top and bottom of the pages, and once in a while you might even find something of interest!

If you want another way to get free e-mail, Juno is a service which offers free e-mail from yor home, and works in much the same way, except it does not require web access. However, unless you wish to have e-mail at home and don't want to pay for web access (you still need a modem for Juno), a web account is generally faster and less of a pain to use.
