@Shankar,
Glad that you liked the list. I did a bit of Googling to find out all the services and integrated into a list. Initially I too knew only about GMail and MyMail.

Nice list there Nirmal
but Gmail should be at top hehe

DJ,
This list is not based on the order, its just 5 ways. No1 does not mean that its the top one.
I agree with you Gmail is the best in this, you can try out MyEmail also, it has good features.

I knew only about Gmail till date. I never knew the other things. Really useful. I’m going to try Mail2Web since it doesn’t require any registration. Worth a stumble!

Hmm.. I won’t get a chance to check my office emails anyway. They won’t answer to public networks! but a good list!

BTW, why was Yahoo mail missed out? It is the only place where I have used this service!

I use GMail to manage all 9 of my e-mail addreses
I couldn’t be happier with this setup!

@Ram,
Thanks for the Stumble.
@Benedict,
I have missed out Yahoo, I haven’t used this feature in Yahoo mail. Its good although it has less features.

Nice list.. stumbled! I have been meaning to set up my email with Google Apps at my host but haven’t done it yet. GMail does handle the POP3 accounts nicely and its nice to get them all in one place!

Nice list never knew others, i used only gmail

@ K-IntheHouse,
Most of us prefer Gmail and its one of the best to handle POP3 accounts. Thanks for the stumble.

I had no idea you could use GMail for POP either! You learn something new everyday! *nod*

Aug 7th, 2007 at 2:55 pm
Wow cool list! I use Gmail for everything. I checked them all instead, and found Mail2Web most attractive!

@Syahid Ali,
Glad that you liked the Interface.
@Rishi,
I liked Mail2Web and MyMail apart from Gmail.

I would keep Zoho on top of this list. It is part of a full suite.
