As a rule browser, which you use travelling in the Internet has the natural post program, as for example Outlook Express for Microsoft Explorer 4.0. It is convenient enough, though is not deprived of particular lacks. Main lack consists in that at change of the provider or local IP addresses you automatically lose of the subscribers and addressees, as your post address changes which is defined by your present provider. Besides not always provider gives to the users of the Internet and service of email. Therefore if you have decided to leave track in Internet, and without e-mails in this business to not do without, it is expedient to get a mail box independent of whim yours provider. Such systems of email have constant and free e-mail address, which by the way you pick to yourselves, on natural taste, though also limits of an opportunity chosen post system. Have a permanent and free e-mail addres, which remains the same, even if you change to another dial-in provider. Many of these services automatically redirect all mail from your e-mail address (with that organization) to your local (dial-in) e-mail address. You can change your local address as many times as you want.
    With other free mail services you don't even need a local e-mail address. They provide you with a userfriendly browser based interface, so you only need your Web program to receive and send mail. The downside of a Web based interface is that the sluggishness of the user-interface can become somewhat irritating. This is because after each action you take, the whole screen has to be downloaded again into your browser. With the Web based interface you have to stay online while reading, typing and sending mail.
   For people who do not own a computer, or who travel a lot, the web based service can provide an extra dimension: your mail is never downloaded into the local computer used for internet access, but always stays on the server (the computer of the mail service). We personally recommend using a permanent e-mail address - be it Web-based, POP or redirecting - because this way you will always keep the same address for your business relations and friends no matter how many times you change your local mail and/or dial-in provider. However, there are some things to keep in mind, while signing up with these services.
    Some of the ways the free e-mail services can make money out of your free e-mail account: 1) Attach a commercial message to some or all of the mail you receive.
2) Attach a commercial message to some or all the mail you send. You can avoid this by using the SMTP (mail sending) service of your local provider.
3) Display advertisements on the web page you use to do your mail stuff (only possible with browser-interface based services).
4) Sell your e-mail address to commercial organizations. Your e-mail address is worth money (up to $0.10 per address). However, there are services who promise not to sell your e-mail address. I would recommend only using a service which does not sell your e-mail address. Otherwise you might end up receiving tons of spam (unwanted commercial e-mail).
   These free e-mail services claim to provide permanent (lifetime) e-mail addresses. Is that possible? What happens if the service goes out of business? Will another organization take over the accounts? I hope so..
     Perhaps best for today Russian post system - inbox.ru. Has appeared rather recently, therefore hasten to be registered, to receive short and convenient addresses on to the desire. Not a secret, that with growth of clientele, in avoidance concurrences of addresses, your desires have the convenient address can any more to coincide with opportunities of the server. Other similar Russian post system - mail.ru- looks even more attractively, than previous, but personally at me in, last time, the problems have appeared in dialogue with it. I hope, that this phenomenon time for and the interface, and in the whole service of the program is rather convincing.
