Best Free email service?

What's the best free email service?

• I'm currently using Hotmail. I'm looking for a free web-based email service, that offers more space, is as reliable and has as-good services like junk mail filters (and preferably isn't a prime target for dictionary attacks by spammers). My dream service would have a translation feature like Babelfish and also allow foreign script entry without the Global IME or Win 2000, but that's probably an unobtainable pie-in-the-sky requirement. In your answer, please provide 3-4 URLs to the best such email service you know. One single URL would do if the service is clearly head and shoulders above the rest. A brief explanation would be nice, but not demanded. I'll rate a quick, satisfactory answer *****, otherwise, it'll be unrated. PS: I've been getting a lot of grief lately for being cheap (see Q.126792). Please provide an answer of a quality you'd think reasonable for $2.

  Hi! Thanks for the question. I think the best strategy to answer your question is to look at reviews of free email services. The About.com website has a terrific review.

It has reviews on other free (relatively unknown free email providers). The reviewers are site users.
