I have found this website:

http://test.msn.ignia.com/minisites/hotmai...px?locale=en-en

First I thought that it was some kind of spam because it doesn't have any msn logo, but the domain http://test.msn.ignia.com redirects you to http://messenger.msn.com so now I don't know what to think.

We think you're going to really like the clean new look and other features -- at least we hope so! We need your feedback to make sure we are doing this thing right.

To sign up for the beta, please give us your e-mail address, and check the box if you want us to keep you in the loop about the latest developments. We'll use your e-mail address for this beta release and relevant updates only.

Depends really.

Gmail:

+ unlimited space (in the rare case your inbox is full, wait a few days)

+ Great POP3 access

+ Best interface of all (cleanest)

+ Lightning fast

- Some attachments aren't accepted

- Can't apply filters on already received e-mail

- Very rarely doesn't group conversations as they should

++++ Leaded to other webmails to be redesigned

Hotmail:

+ Easy integration with Outlook (Thunderbird only supports INBOX, no other folders).

+ Easy import of Outlook contacts

- MSN Messenger integration

- Bad e-mail client support

- Bad browser support (no tabs)

- Very bad and slow javascript

- Slow alltogether

- In-your-face ads

- Other bloat

- Catches too much "spam"

Yahoo!:

+ Somewhat okay POP3 access

+ Pretty clean interface

+ Fairly fast

- Alot of bloat next to Inbox

- Catches too much "spam"

- Lets through spam

New Yahoo!:

+ New interface

+ tabs

+ less ads

- Same SPAM problems, current accounts already screwed by this

New Hotmail (by reports):

+ Rewrite from scratch

+ XUL + AJAX = Firefox/Opera powah!

+ Drag 'n drop

+ Has some must-come-to-gmail features

- but even more bloat that I will never user

- more integration of MSN Spaces/MSN/Calendar/Contacts. No!

Inbox.com:

+ Adless (could be adblock tho)

+ Okay interface

- nothing special

30gigs:

+ 30 gigs, call it unlimited

- Interface ain't that good

- Slow

So, I call:

1. Gmail

2. 30gigs

3. Inbox.com

4. Yahoo! (new+old)

5. Hotmail (new+old)

although I'm only satisfied about the first. The interface just rocks.

:thumbup It's so simple and it just works! Now... if they only had IMAP interface instead of POP3... that would be the ultimate e-mail solution!

Hotmail:

+ Easy integration with Outlook (Thunderbird only supports INBOX, no other folders).

- Bad e-mail client support

Only if you pay!!! AFAIK, you cannot use Hotmail with Outlook if you don't have the paid for account with MSN. I just tried this weekend with my girlfriend's computer and the Hotmail server gave us the message that you require a subscription.

My favorite thing about gmail is that your inbox size is ALWAYS growing no other webbased email program doz that ! ;)
