I know some of you (most maybe?) don't like the free accounts for privacy reasons, but for what I use email for, it's not a huge concern.
I quit using Gmail because I don't like their format for viewing messages as a conversation and reverted back to Yahoo, but now they have the same format.
Does anyone have an opinion on mail.com or any of the other free services?
My main issue with the bastards is they way they willy-nilly hyperlink or don't hyperlink in email messages. I did a test the other day, and I found that (at least on that day) Gmail to Yahoo and Yahoo to Hotmail did not display as hyperlinks, but the other combinations did. I made sure I was set to rich text. But that seems to vary from day to day.
I rather like mail.ru for email, but you have to learn the Russian commands on the page to navigate it. When composing, it shows hyperlinks right on your text entry field, before you sent it. It's a pain to set up, with lots of sign-up questions in Russian, but you can use a text translator to guide your way through that once.
Why not keep Gmail and use Thunderbird as your mail client?
I didn't know what this was so I searched it. From what I understand, Thunderbird is not email, but is software to customize your preferred email? I can change the interface somewhat and make it more like the previous version of Yahoo?

I I stated earlier, Thunderbird is an email client, it goes out and pulls your emails from the Gmail servers...
Looks totally different than that garbage client Gmail uses...
Try it out, you got nothing to loose outside of maybe 20 minutes of your time...
thunderbird is fantastic. only thing is you download it on your computer and you use thunderbird on your computer so when you are using other computers you can't use thunderbird, you use yahoo or gmail's website in that case. so for example I use thunderbird on my notebook at home. when I travel and use hotel computers I have to use yahoo or gmail's website. but when I get home it's refreshing to use thunderbird, it has that traditional email look and feel and you can compose long detailed emails.
I absolutely hate what they did with the web browser versions of yahoo and gmail...absolutely destroyed their functionality.
When I'm out, I use it on my phone. Rarely ever log in to their web versions.
