As a rule, to the choice of a box for your email many approach lightly - they spend a long time racking their brains over which account and password to come up with, but at the same time they do not attach any importance to which service to choose. Often, when registering free mail, they are guided, first of all, by the domain name. Someone wants this domain to display its location, like [email protected], but for others it is important that the address is simple and very easy to remember, such as, for example, [email protected] Meanwhile, you should pay attention to completely different features of mail - what tools are used to combat spam, whether mail clients are supported, how stable the service is, etc.
Many users have at their disposal mailboxprovided by the provider. However, for those who lead an active life on the Web, it is not enough. An e-mail address is required when registering on various services and forums, and using a box from a provider for these purposes is fraught with the fact that after a while it will turn into a spam collector. Therefore, many users always have at their disposal not one, but several mailboxes at once - one for correspondence, and the rest - for registration in various online stores, communities, etc. The good thing about this approach is that it is always easy to refuse from "additional" boxes if the need arises.
So, what are the best postal services to use for receiving and sending correspondence? Read on in our review.
Mail.com
If you try to come up with the simplest version of a domain address for mail, then imagine something more trivial than an address [email protected], difficult. If you try to follow this link in your browser, the free e-mail service of the same name will open. Upon closer examination of this service, it turns out that it is not so simple at all. This service offers about three hundred domain addresses for mail alone - that's really where there really is plenty to choose from. Offered in a huge number of mail domains are sorted into categories to make it easier to navigate this variety. So, in the list of suggested names for mail there are names of cities and countries, for example, paris.com or singapore.com. You can also choose a domain for your mail, based on your hobby, for example, elvisfan.com or bikerider.com. And what professions are not on this list! From archaeologist, sociologist and orthopedist to engineer and politician. There are also domains for fun-loving people who want to stand out for their originality (in this group, the domains humanoid.net and tvstar.com were especially amused), as well as domains with country names and related to religion.
As for the domains themselves, there are no sites at these addresses and, what is especially strange, there is no transfer from these addresses to mail.com.
Mail.com offers users a paid email option with unlimited space, no ads, and a number of other benefits. The free three gigabyte mailbox has a system of customizable anti-spam filters. You can also set up five email addresses in your account settings, from which the service will automatically upload incoming mail to your mail.com account.
The web-based mailbox interface includes a notepad. It is convenient to make various notes in this notebook, any text entries no more than five thousand characters long. Notes can be categorized, sorted into groups, etc. For example, you can leave yourself a reminder to send a congratulatory letter to someone, or of some other important event. The idea of \u200b\u200bsuch a tool, it would seem, is quite interesting, but our attempt to leave a message in Russian did not lead to anything good - the text immediately turned into gibberish. The lack of support for the Russian language is undignified for such a large service, especially since there is an option in the list of domain names for choosing an email address russianmail.com... Agree, it's rather strange to have a mail account with such a domain, and at the same time not be able to work with mail tools in Russian.
In conclusion, we note that for some reason we did not manage to register on the Mail.com service right away. Probably, the picture with the confirmation code is to blame, which should provide protection against automatic registration - on Mail.com she did not want to let us through. Apparently, we were just out of luck - there were preventive work, and after a few hours, it was possible to register accounts without hindrance.
Registration on one of the most popular mail services in the world has a significant drawback - by filling out the name form for an account, it is impossible to check immediately whether such a user already exists. In addition, even if you try again, the service does not offer guaranteed free options for your email account, but simply states "This login is not available." Taking into account how many users use mail on this service, it becomes clear that it will not be easy to find an unoccupied concise and understandable name.
After registering a mail account, you can work with all services Yahoo!using the same account. The inbox on Yahoo! Mail includes a chat, so by logging into the web interface of your mail, you can exchange instant messages with everyone who uses the similar service Yahoo! or Windows Live.
The mail interface is available in both English and Russian. Despite this, you should not place high hopes on the translation of email tools - some phrases are frankly baffling with their meaninglessness.
The size of the mailbox on this service is not limited, but the size of the sent attachments should not exceed 10 megabytes.
Yahoo! Mail has two interfaces - classic and updated. The user can quickly switch between these options without ending the current session on the server. More a new version e-mail resembles working in an e-mail client - you can simultaneously view the list of letters and the text of the selected message, and messages are loaded almost instantly and does not require page refresh. However, the new version of the interface does not work in all browsers. For example, Opera is not officially supported.
The mailbox contains an address book. You can copy contacts from various email clients to it - Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape / Thunderbird and Palm Desktop. You can do the opposite - address book export to these applications.
For an additional fee ($ 20 per year), users can look forward to more advanced features. The paid version of the Yahoo! Mail Plus mail service has a number of advantages - support for mail clients working with the POP3 protocol, a larger attachment size - up to 20 megabytes - and some others. However, the most interesting feature of the paid version of the service is the AddressGuard anti-spam system. Its essence is as follows. Let's say the user already has a free Yahoo! account, let's say [email protected] He uses this mailbox both at home and at work, so the probability of a spam attack is quite high. The easiest way to protect yourself from the invasion of advertising and junk letters is not to give the address to everyone. Let's say a user decided to register in an online store. To do this, using the AddressGuard system, he creates a so-called disposable mailbox, say, [email protected] (the user comes up with the name for this disposable box). The user uses this address when registering in this store. Any correspondence that comes to [email protected], automatically enters the box [email protected] After a while, to the address of a disposable box [email protected] spam starts coming in. The user deletes the specially created one-time address created using the AddressGuard system, after which the spam flow stops. It would be nice to adopt this anti-spam system for other popular services.
One of the advantages of the Rambler Mail service is support for the IMAP protocol, which is an alternative to the POP3 protocol (the latter is also supported by the service). Maximum size attachment that can be sent in one letter using this mail - up to twenty megabytes. This is one of the best "indicators" among the test participants.
Especially for mobile phones and other portable devices, such as PDAs, the postal service provides a simplified version of the mobile mail service available at mobile.rambler.ru.
Initially, the mailbox size is 50 megabytes. This volume can be increased to 1000 megabytes, though not immediately. The free space for letters provided by Rambler Mail can be increased by an additional 50 megabytes once a day. If you count, it turns out that this "under-gigabyte" is achieved in as many as twenty days, unless, of course, you get tired of increasing the box every day. Of course, 50 megabytes for mail is quite a sufficient amount, but only if you do not send large attachments and do not conduct active correspondence. If you start a mailbox for work, then, we believe, sending documents and communicating with business partners will quickly exhaust the free space.
The information about the maximum allowable message size looks somewhat confusing. The maximum size of a sent message with attachments is 25 megabytes. There is a warning in the service usage rules that the file is being encoded in transit and therefore increases in size by approximately 30 percent. This, in turn, means that the actual maximum file size that can be uploaded will be no more than 18 megabytes. The maximum size of a received letter can be up to 25 megabytes.
If you access your mailbox from a region where a keyboard with a Russian layout is very rare, you can use one of the following for typing useful tools service - virtual keyboard.
This popular email service needs no advertising. Many people still remember that when Gmail just started its work, registration of accounts on it was possible only by invitation, and the size of the mailbox at that time seemed just huge - a whole gigabyte. But as time goes on, today the Gmail mail service is one of the most popular on the Internet, and the volume of the free mailbox provided is regularly increasing. It is easy to see this with your own eyes - on start page the service has a counter that constantly runs forward and "winds up" the size of the mailbox on Gmail. At the time of this writing, this number has exceeded seven gigabytes.
Please note that despite the fact that the maximum attachment size for one message is 20 MB, the message sent will not be delivered if the total size of the text message and attachment exceeds this size.
Large mailbox volumeprovided to users of Gmail gives rise to some ideas about its misuse. But you shouldn't speculate on your account. It is enough to start actively sending or receiving large batches of data through your Gmail account, and the service will immediately block the account, first at short term, then for a longer period of time, and if the user does not change his line of behavior, he will completely close his account for violating the rules for using the service. The same can happen if the service fixes any " unusual use"mail, for example, when using the service mass mailing of letters is carried out, among which there are many undelivered messages returned back. Also, suspicion of the service can cause a large number of connections to the mail web interface in a relatively short period of time. At one time we were" lucky " check this situation for yourself - when the "Enter" key was stuck on the keyboard, the service quickly reacted to numerous reloads of the page with mail and temporarily restricted access to the mail account.
Sorting letters in the inbox Gmail has distinctive feature - all sent letters are grouped with replies to them. These groups are called "chains" and are very convenient for keeping track of the history of correspondence.
Anti-spamin general, Gmail is implemented well, but not without flaws, and from time to time the service does not allow quite harmless letters. Having marked the incoming letter as spam, you can be calm - next time the junk message will go to the Spam folder, bypassing the Inbox. But if Gmail mistook one of the correspondents for a spammer, then even if his address is marked as trusted, there is still a possibility that the next time the message will be mistaken for spam. This issue will likely be fixed in the future, but if you are using a mailbox on this service, we would advise you to review the contents of your spam folder from time to time. It contains no, no, and there is an erroneously filtered letter.
Gmail has a lot of focus on security. The bottom of the page displays information about when you last logged in with your account, and if it is open on some other computer. In addition, Gmail shows the IP address on which the account is open. This feature is especially useful for users who frequently check mail from different locations and may forget to log out of their account. If desired, you can quickly end all but one session. If desired, you can get more detailed information about using the account. So by clicking on the link " Additional Information"located next to the IP address, you can see which IP addresses you are from recent times got access to Gmail and in what way (by means mobile phone, via POP3, etc.). This is a very useful feature to help ensure that your account is not being used by someone else.
If you decide to use the Gmail service, we advise you to pay attention to ads that are displayed unobtrusively on the page with received messages. The fact is that unlike other services, where an abundance of ads is only annoying, Google ads may well interest you. Firstly, there are few advertisements on the page with mail, and secondly, the topic for advertisements is not random, it is selected taking into account the words that are found in received and sent mail messages. For example, after you send a letter to a friend that you have always dreamed of having a car, an advertising message from a company that sells this particular product may appear on the page.
Post service Gmail allows you to search by keyword in all correspondence. The search results will be displayed on the screen, and the requested phrase will be highlighted in yellow.
One of the interesting features of Gmail that has become available to users relatively recently is the presence of colorful themes for the design of the mailbox. Users have 30 themes at their disposal, thanks to which Gmail, for example, can sparkle with chrome trim or resemble a retro notebook. You can choose between "nature" themes that change with the time of day, or "weather-dependent" themes that can cause rain in the Gmail window. In addition, funny characters can now live in the mail all the time. New Gmail themes even include an old-school ascii-style Terminal interface that was created as a result of a dispute between two engineers. To choose a theme to your liking, go to the "Settings" section and select the "Themes" tab.
The name of this service is confusing to many, most mistakenly assume that this service may have something to do with postal service from google. Even the Gmail.ru logo is made in a rainbow palette and resembles the logo of another service from Google. But, nevertheless, this is a completely different project that has nothing to do with Gmail. The number of domain names for registering mail on this service is steadily increasing. The point is that Gmail.ru's policy is to attract any domain name owner who wants to organize a free mail service. The only requirement put forward by the resource is that the website must have a daily attendance of at least 500 visitors. This is where the whole activity of the service ends - registration for any of the offered domains does not take place, due to which the pseudo-service falls into our black list.
Users who decide to create a mailbox like [email protected]will be surprised when they see its interface.
Doesn't it look like anything? There is no doubt that the web-interface of this mailbox practically does not differ from the web-interface of mail Gmail... The similarities are visible in everything - the same menu, text editing tools, a set of tools. The fact that mail on bigmir.net runs on the engine of an advanced mail service from Google is also indicated by the fact that if you open the help for managing mail, you can find yourself on the help page of Gmail-mail. The secret is revealed simply - in 2007 the company bigmir.net used affiliate program Google Apps Partner Edition and changed the mail engine to a module similar to Gmail. At the same time, users won - they received a stable operation of the service, the ability to automatically sort letters, protection from spam. And also - the constantly growing volume of the mailbox (on the bigmir.net page there is even a spinning counter of the current mail size, the same as on Gmail). The only difference between the services is a different domain in the name.
Almost every email service develops its own anti-spam technology (that's really a headache for the entire Internet!). The KM Mail service is no exception, which uses a special anti-spam tool called Quarantine. This method of fighting spam means that an incoming letter is placed in the Inbox only in one of two cases. The first is if its sender is on the recipient's "white list". Second, if the sender confirms the automatic request sent to him when receiving a message from him. To confirm, you must either follow the link specified in the letter, or respond, leaving the letter unchanged.
Several files with a total size of no more than 7.5 megabytes can be attached to each sent message.
All incoming mail is checked by the Dr.Web anti-virus, which blocks the entry of mail worms, Trojans and other viruses into the mailbox.
In the mailbox settings, you can configure an SMS notification about the arrival of a new letter, so that every time new messages arrive, you can quickly respond to them. Unfortunately, not all operators mobile communication support this function, so check the list before configuring available operators... This function works both in Russia and in other neighboring countries, for example, in Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Latvia, Belarus, etc.
The first thing that pleases me when registering for this service is an unlimited mailbox. The service rules indicate that after registration a mailbox takes up 100 megabytes, however, the free space counter in the mailbox has a maximum mark of 512 megabytes, so it is difficult to judge the exact volume of a mailbox immediately after its creation. In general, the space in the mailbox can be as large as it is required - as soon as the free space is less than 10 megabytes, on the folder list page, to the right of the inbox full indicator, an "increase" link will appear, allowing you to increase the mailbox size by another 100 megabytes. You can increase the size of the box many times, but not more often than once a day.
Registration of a postal address is available in the following domains: pochta.ru, fromru.com, front.ru, hotbox.ru, hotmail.ru, krovatka.su, land.ru, mail15.com, mail333.com, newmail.ru, nightmail. ru, nm.ru, pisem.net, pochtamt.ru, pop3.ru, rbcmail.ru and smtp.ru.
The secret question, which must be specified when registering a free mailbox, has to be invented and typed in the appropriate field yourself. As usual, this service does not offer pre-prepared questions, and it seems to us in vain - why waste time filling out a question if the main thing is the answer typed by the user.
When you enter the web-based mail interface, the service shows not only the time of the last access to e-mail through the browser, but also the last access via the SMTP, POP3 and IMAP4 protocols.
Antivirus and antispam are used to protect correspondence. The service supports spell checking and allows you to translate typed text from English into Russian and vice versa. If necessary, you can use the answering machine function. In this case, you can draw up a number of rules according to which a response will be automatically sent. This opportunity is very convenient to use when you go on vacation - everyone who sends letters may receive a notification, for example: "I am resting in the Maldives, I forgot my phone at home, it's useless to call. I won't be home until 21st."
If within six months the service has not recorded a single authorized access to this account (via the web interface or using an email client), the mailbox may be closed.
Of additional opportunities service Pochta.ru should be noted free hosting... The terms of this hosting are very modest, there is no support for CGI, PHP, ASP, JSP and other scripts that require execution on the server side. And the amount of space for the site will only work for a business card site - in total, up to 256 megabytes of data and up to 1000 files can be stored on the FTP server.
In addition, the service offers to use its own file storage with the ability to restrict access by password. The maximum file size, as well as the total size of all uploaded files, should not exceed 16 megabytes.
The most popular Russian free mail service immediately provides a box with a volume of 10 gigabytes. The size of mail can be increased many times, and the size of the mailbox is increased by 2 gigabytes at a time.
This mail service fights not only against spam, but also against spammers who try to use the [email protected] service for their nefarious purposes. However, this does not mean that mass mailings cannot be performed using a mailbox on Mail.Ru. Sending advertising messages by e-mail is possible, but only on the condition that the company or an individual who is engaged in this has received confirmation of consent to receive such mailings from the addressee. All mail passing through the servers of the Mail.Ru mail service is automatically scanned for viruses by Kaspersky Anti-Virus.
For those who work with e-mail through a browser, Mail @ Mail.Ru gives the opportunity to use a diary. This tool is a handy organizer in which you can store various reminders of scheduled appointments, business contacts, etc.
Another handy feature of the service concerns file transfer. Any letter sent from this service can contain up to twenty attachments, with a total volume of up to 30 megabytes. However, if larger files need to be sent, this is not a problem. In this case, they will be automatically uploaded to the Files @ Mail.Ru service and sent as links in the message. Using this feature, you can send 20 files with a total volume of up to 20 GB with one letter.
If a letter received by Mail.Ru contains a lot of attachments, you can not waste your time downloading each of them separately, but download all attachments at once, as a single archive.
For those who are worried about the problem of data confidentiality, and who fear that an attacker will find out the password to e-mail and gain access to correspondence, the service provides the ability to protect data with a password. A new folder is created in the mailbox, all important messages are moved to it, after which the rights to access this folder are limited by a password. In case the password is lost, you can come up with an additional one to recover it. secret Question, the answer to which the attacker, of course, will not know. The folder itself with the "hidden" data can be made invisible to mail clients.
And, finally, one more plus of this service is the wide possibilities of message formatting. In the text of letters, you can use up to 136 different emoticons, use bulleted and numbered lists, use a different typeface, background color, etc.
It is no secret that many people use email to receive notifications from various social services - forums, communities, etc. For such users on home page service "Yandex.Mail" in the block of the same name you can see the counter of notifications from several social services at once - Livejournal.com, vkontakte.ru and Odnoklassniki.ru.
The size of the mailbox on Yandex.Mail is unlimited. After registering the box, its initial volume is 10 gigabytes. When it is more than 98 percent full, the service offers the user an additional gigabyte of storage space for letters. And so - ad infinitum.
A typical attachment when sending letters from Yandex.Mail can take no more than 20 megabytes, but larger files can also be sent, but with the help of another service - Yandex.Narod, which any mailbox owner can use for free.
Anti-spam protection of the mailbox is implemented in several stages. First, when a new message arrives, the postal service filters out obvious garbage, i.e. messages that are easy to identify as unwanted. A characteristic feature of spam, by which the service control determines such messages, is an unmanaged sending server. If this fact is found, the Yandex service will reject the received letter and send a notification to mail server the sender with an indication of the reason for the denial of access, so that in case of misunderstanding, this problem can be resolved. At the next stage of the scan, messages are scanned for viruses and other unwanted attachments. Check in progress antivirus program Dr.Web.
In the process of sending a letter, an unpleasant situation may arise when the sender himself does not suspect that the letter sent by him contains a virus. Some mail services, if a virus is detected in such a letter, do not let it through. If this letter contained nothing but a virus, such an action by the mail service could be considered justified, but in in this case the sender provides some useful information, therefore, after deleting the letter with the attachment, not only the virus will not reach the mailbox owner, but also the one reported in the text helpful information... The Yandex.Mail service takes this circumstance into account and proceeds differently - the message will be rejected only if the message contains no text. If there is text, the mail service will mark this message as infected.
After the message has been scanned by the antivirus, a filter begins to work, which processes new signs of spam - a large number of recipient addresses, the presence keywords and phrases, etc. Messages that are transferred by the service to the "Spam" folder can be deleted after two weeks.
The mail service provides flexible configuration of filters - by sender, by subject of the message, etc. Incoming letters can be sorted, automatically forwarded to other mailboxes. To save traffic, the service settings have the ability to disable the display of images in messages.
If used to check correspondence mail client, then when downloading messages using the POP3 protocol, an additional mail header X-Spam-Flag: YES will be added to each spam message identified by the protection, and a phrase will be added to the Subject field. To undo the insertion of such a header, go to the "Personal settings" section and select "Unmark in the subject line".
One of the shortest mail domain names is the mail address on the Ukrainian service i.ua. Incoming mail on this service is protected by Kaspersky Anti-Virus. Incoming mail is controlled by its own anti-spam filter. The developers of the postal service strongly recommend to "train" this filter, pointing it to messages with inappropriate content. After some time, the filter will be able to work on its own, making fewer and fewer mistakes in detecting junk mail.
The mail service works with the POP3 protocol. For some unknown reason, work with the alternative IMAP protocol is not provided, and the resource rules even indicate that such a possibility is not planned in the future. SMTP service is provided only to VIP users, for an additional fee.
To work with the web-based mail interface, you need to have the Flash 9 (or higher) component installed. If for some reason this is not possible, for normal operation it is necessary to enable the "turn off the extended file adding mode" item in the mail interface settings.
Received letters should not exceed 15 megabytes, and you can send a message not exceeding 10 megabytes. There is a restriction on i.ua servers aimed at fighting spammers. Therefore, even VIP users cannot send using of this service a large number of letters in a short period of time.
Mail on i.ua does not live very long - 90 days after there were no calls to the mailbox, it stops receiving messages, and after the same amount of time the mailbox is completely deleted. If after 180 days there is no attempt to log in the user, his account will be canceled and his account will be available for other users to register. If you try to authorize in an "abandoned" mailbox, the mail can be restored, but the messages deleted by the service by this time will be lost forever.
Conclusion
Providing free e-mail is one of the most common services on the Internet. Every second major portal today offers to create a free postal address. However, there is no need to rush in this matter. The choice of an address for your e-mail should be approached carefully - sometimes the convenience of the web interface tools hides unstable work web service, lack of POP3 support or weak spam protection. We hope that this test will allow you to avoid mistakes when choosing free mail, and you will not need to open a second and third mailbox just because the first one is littered with spam or does not receive messages.
Every new Internet user one day begins to puzzle for a long time, coming up with the name of his future e-mail.
When creating a mailbox for the first time, all the concentration, apparently, goes to the login and password, so few people think about the quality of the service itself.
Of course, some users pay attention to an easy to remember and sonorous domain name. When choosing a postal service, you can primarily focus on
- service stability,
- methods of fighting spammers,
- convenience of the interface,
- the presence of additional features that are provided by this or that mail.
Below we will consider the common free email services, and the choice is yours.
The volume of 10 GB of the mailbox is pleasant, it can still be expanded as letters accumulate. A good fight against spammers, but sometimes spam breaks through, probably, thanks to the popularity of the mail service on the Runet.
There are also many pleasant and comfortable additional servicessuch as "", which allow you to pass through cloud storage files among their devices and send files to other people as needed.

Yandex mail domains: yandex and ya
Yandex.Mail has a short domain - this is what appears in the name of the mail (that is, in the login) immediately after the "dog" symbol: @. The following example names for mail
- Nadezda @ mail.ru,
- Nadezda @ gmial.com,
- Nadezda @ yandex.ru
differences in logins are only in mail domains: mail.ru, gmail.com, yandex.ru. And these, of course, are already different mails, with different services.
As for the domain of Yandex mail, it doesn't matter if you send a letter to @ yandex.ru or @ ya.ru, it will still come to one addressee.

» Survey of postal services (services) of the Internet. Introduction
Although e-mail has long lost the title of the most convenient means of communication on the Internet, probably 99% of Internet users use it. And all because mail services today are not only sending letters, but also a lot of others. useful functions, without which there is nowhere in the modern Web. In this series of articles, we will consider reviews of 6 leading internet postal services.
Which ones? We decided to find out about this by reviewing six popular postal services. current state e-mail, you like it or not, but obvious parallels with regular mail suggest themselves. Indeed, before the start of mass internetization (due to high cost long distance telephone calls) mail was one of the main means of communication at a distance - letters were written and received almost daily.
With the spread of the Internet, this trend gradually came to naught: now letters of a personal nature are written, probably, only by grandmothers, avid romantics and retro-romances (remember the last time you wrote or received a personal paper letter). And if besides this, the post office had no other functions, it would rest in the dustbin of history next to the use of traction force in transport or a war with the help of edged weapons. But ordinary mail has many other functions - this is the delivery of parcels, parcels, periodicals, etc., and financial operations, and courier service, and whatnot. Therefore, it will probably be possible to talk about the death of mail only when people invent teleportation. The same can be said for e-mail. At the dawn of the Internet email was the most convenient and cheapest way to communicate with people: I sprinkled a text, connected to the Internet, sent a message, disconnected - and for a couple of kopecks, your letter is already being read on the other side of the planet.
But every year access to the Internet became cheaper, the channels became wider, and the developers more inventive, and now the function of communication from email was taken away by chats, IM messengers, video calls, and then social networks (the list, of course, far from complete). But e-mail survived due to the fact that it focused on other functions: transferring files, aggregating subscriptions, etc. But what can I say, without a mailbox it is now impossible to register in any of the popular social network... Moreover, today the postal address is a kind of universal identifier user in many places and services of the Web.
So there is no need to worry about this type of communication. It is better to take a look at what opportunities the mailbox owner has on popular mail services, which is what we are going to do now.
Why exactly are they?
Today there are a great many mail services. We decided to take six services popular in Runet - these are Western Yahoo! Mail, Gmail and Hotmail, Russian Mail.Ruand Yandex Mailas well as Ukrainian FREEMAIL from Ukr.net. When choosing the services to be tested, we were guided by both site popularity ratings and personal experience, and also conducted a small survey among friends and acquaintances. As a result, the results of global ratings and our mini-poll were almost the same. As it turned out, the "domestic manufacturer" is not in favor here - except for Ukr.net, the respondents did not recall any other Ukrainian service, although, of course, there are such services as Bigmir) net, "[email protected]", "e-mail I .UA ", etc., but they do not occupy high positions in the popularity ratings of sites (unlike the same" Ukrnet "). The reason, as it seems to us, is that these services are not yet sufficiently promoted, and many already have accounts on other services, from which, due to habit, they are in no hurry to switch. In fact, in terms of functionality, domestic services are far from inferior to Western or Russian counterparts. Well, let's hope that this will change in the future.
Hello everyone. In order to fully enjoy all the advantages of the Internet, you cannot bypass such popular services as e-mail. But the question always arises: which email to choose? And today in this article I will introduce you to 5 of the most popular email services and tell you about their benefits.
Which email should I choose?
What could be more pleasant to receive letters and to be in contact with your close relatives who live so far away from you? Find out how your friends are doing, share photos that capture the happiest moments of your life.
At the present time, one cannot do without e-mail, it is needed in everything, whether we want to register on the site or in the game, subscribe to an interesting newsletter or buy some product in the online store. We need to enter an email address every time, but which one to choose? Which is the most convenient and safest of all? I will try to answer these questions.
The first thing you need to pay attention to is the mail interface and its functionality, so that you will be comfortable working with it in the future.
Second, pay attention to the volume of emails and how much space you are given to send files. This is also an important point, since sometimes it is necessary to send letters with several documents.
And thirdly, choose secure mail, but you yourself will not be able to check it yourself, so I recommend taking one of the 5 presented below.
The Internet is just full of all kinds of mailboxes that you can register for free and still get amazing bonuses. But to understand which service is right for you, you need to understand all the advantages and disadvantages of each of them.

Emails are missing? Ukrainian letters disappear from the text? Out of mailbox space? - If you are familiar with these problems, then this article is for you.
In this post, I tried to briefly review the popular among my colleagues, friends and acquaintances mail services, in order to outline their advantages and disadvantages. I ranked seven popular email services in ascending order, starting with the worst.
Rambler-mail - "mail to nowhere"
Once Rambler was one of the best search engines in runet, but now he has unconditionally surrendered his positions. The once popular Rambler mail is hopelessly outdated and is an extremely primitive mail service. In order to somehow stay afloat, Rambler shows its users a lot of ads.
By registering on Rambler, you get a mailbox of 20 (!) Megabytes, which theoretically can be increased by 50 megabytes per day. The maximum possible size of a "pumped-over" Rambler-mail is 1 gigabyte and not a byte more. However, if you do not have the habit of sending photos by mail, then you can still put up with such stinginess of Rambler.
The mailbox web interface is quite simple and straightforward. In order to protect itself from spammers, Rabler-mail requires entering a check number (captcha) every time a letter is sent. It is possible that Rambler is simply distrustful of new users, but in my case, when I have to send up to fifty letters a day, such paranoidness is extremely annoying.
The maximum allowable size of incoming / outgoing letters in Rambler-mail is 25 megabytes. Considering that the size of the message increases by about a third when sending, the actual size of the message including attached files is about 16 megabytes. As for uploading files, in Rambler mail they can be attached to the letter only one at a time, and they are uploaded to the server only after clicking the "Send" button. I note right away that there are much more convenient ways to download files, but more on that later.
From the experience of correspondence with the owners of mailboxes on Rambler, I will say that they often have problems when sending letters with attached files.
Finally, I gave up on Rambler-mail after less than half (!) Of a dozen test letters sent by me reached the addressee, the fate of the rest remained unknown - they were on the list of sent ones, but I did not receive any error notifications.
MetaMail - primitive in Ukrainian
META - Ukrainian search portal was created back in 1998 and is focused exclusively on Ukrainian users. The only thing I like about META is its name, there is something patriotic about it.
Like Gmail, Yandex mail allows you to conveniently view sent documents directly in a web browser. In addition to ordinary letters, Yandex mail allows you to send video messages recorded using a webcam. The mail interface of Yandex mail has a function for sending and drawing postcards.
By default, a small banner and a news block are displayed in the Yandex mail interface. But, oddly enough, both can be disabled in the settings. It is not clear why, but, according to Yandex statistics, very few people use this opportunity.
You have decided to change your mailbox. How to do it painlessly?
If someone has read this article to the end and decided to switch to a new mail, then I will hint how this can be done almost painlessly. Changing your mail is almost like changing your mobile number - for a long time you will be sent to your old address. Therefore, I recommend turning to the functions of forwarding incoming letters, as well as the mail collector, which is available in almost all mail services.
With forwarding mail, for sure, everything is obvious - you specify your new mail address and all incoming correspondence is forwarded to the new address.
The Mail Collector is a very handy feature if you have multiple email addresses. You indicate in your main mail addresses and passwords of other mailboxes, and it will automatically download new letters from them. Different mail services this function can be implemented in different ways, so for more information, I recommend looking at the reference section.
