My Hotmail account has been deteriorating signifigantly over the past month. It is sometimes unavailable (especially at work, perhaps because odf a firewall), sometimes really slow, and I am considering going to another free email service, possibly Yahoo/Rocketmail, Postmark.net, or Myownemail.com. Are others out there dissatisfied with Hotmail's or another free emailer's service? Also, any possible input on the Y2K status of any free email provider?

Hotmail has been days late recently. Snail mail is faster!

If your not behind a firewall try this one: https://www.hushmail.com/

It's encrypted...don't know how reliable they are but it looks interesting. Hotmail has had some hacking problems recently.

Yahoo has been just fine, for both of my accounts! I did have a problem with one mailbox about 2 weeks ago, but it was OK a few hours later. A little slow once in a while, but overall, I'm quite happy! <:)=

I use netaddress, as you can see, and also hotmail. Both have gotten worse recently and never were all that good. I'd have changed already but informing all the folks that I write to would be a bother. About to bite the bullet though.

I have a hotmail account (different e-mail address). It has deteriorated, in my view, significantly, since Microsucks took it over. "... contacted. waiting" comes up a lot. But what else would one expect from Microsucks? I have been also considering others.
