I can't think of any other major services off the top of my head, but your list gives people a lot of great places to start.For me, though, inbox space is actually not the most important factor when I'm trying to decide which service to use. My main priority is service uptime. What good is it, I ask, to have ten zillion gigs of inbox space if the servers are down half of the time? Fortunately, many services offer both tons of inbox space and lots of server uptime. Not all, but many. :P

You are right on that one, but most of the services I've added does have good server up-time(I think?). Not sure about AOL though. I don't have any real experience about that one. I would recommend the top 3 in my list for starters.

My favourite e-mail service is probably dodgeit.com

 

Dodgeit (dodgeit.com) - Space: unlimited (I think) (message deletes after 7 days) (receive only).

 

Not completely useless. It doesn't require registration so you don't have to put up with sites that spam. Only use it if it isn't against the site's TOS.

 

I don't think Windows Live requires an invitation. If you register a Hotmail account, you get given a little link that you can click to upgarde to Windows Live.

 

Yahoo Mail gives you 10 MB for email. I'm not joking, it is that small! Although I think its department is security not space:

 

https://login.yahoo.com/config/login_verify2?&.src=ym

 

Click on See what else you get.

MyRealBox is a service that I have used for quite a long time but they canceled signup for a while. They are about to reopent though.

 

they have 10mb space, excellent spam filtering system, and, most importantly to me, they have POP3 and IMAP access, and very little downtime.

 

There are 2 web interfaces (it uses the Novel Groupwise system, and is a testbed for it.) one of which has a notes system and also a calender system, shown below

Another one I have used and still do is mail15 based at pochta.ru

 

This has the following (including some stats):

 

WORK THROUGH MAIL CLIENTS

You can work through your favorite mail client: POP, SMTP, IMAP and SHTTP are supported

 

UNLIMITED MAILBOX STORAGE

You can choose the size of your mailbox. There are no restrictions!

 

* Daily statistics by Web 30257 Mail sent, by SMTP 17235 Mail sent, Mail received 1918493 Mail sent

 

ANTISPAM

Automatic antispam and mass mailing filters

 

* messages marked as Spam 93.02% over the past 24 hours

 

ANTIVIRUS

Antivirus automatically checks all incoming and outgoing mail

 

* messages with viruses found 0.75% over the past 24 hours

 

PERSONAL WEBSITE HOSTING

We offer 20Mb space for your website

 

The host is in Russia, but is translated to English. This provider allows(and promotes) the use of IMAP.

 

It has a nice simple web site builder with ftp access as well, although I have never hosted anything there.

 

It has 3 choices for non .ru domains for email, mail15.com, mail333.com and pisem.net (whatever pisem means)

 

Give it a try.
