해외 무료 이메일 계정은 뭐가 있을까

........별 생각없이 쓴 짧은 글이 이오공감을 타더니 방문자가 갑자기 폭증했습니다.
게다가 갑자기 마구마구 달리는 댓글들;;;;;
아마 지금까지 했던 포스팅중 가장 많은 댓글이 달리지 않았을까 싶습니다.
전에 한시간동안 7000명이 들어왔을때도 댓글이 저것보다 적었던 기억이 나네요.


댓글을 읽어보니 불안해서 한국 메일을 못쓰겠다. 해외로 메일을 옮기겠다는 것들이 눈에 띄더군요
게다가 좋은 곳을 알려주세요. 라는 의견도 있었습니다.

개인적으로 제가 쓰는 것은 Google Gmail과 MS의 Hotmail입니다.
그 외에 야후 계정(한국 야후가 아니라 미국 야후입니다)을 만드는 방법도 있겠죠.

문득 구글과 MS, 야후 말고도 어디 좋은 해외 무료 이메일 계정이 있는 곳이 없을까. 해서 한번 뒤져보았습니다.

일일히 찾아야 되면 답이 없을 것 같아서 그냥 둘러보고 있었는데 마침 잘 정리된게 있더군요.

Top 17 Free Email Services

By Heinz Tschabitscher, About.com

1. Gmail - Free Email Service

Heinz Tschabitscher

Gmail is the Google approach to email and chat. Practically unlimited free online storage allows you to collect all your messages, and Gmail's simple but very smart interface lets you find them precisely and see them in context without effort. POP and powerful IMAP access bring Gmail to any email program or device.
Gmail puts contextual advertising next to the emails you read.

2. AIM Mail - Free Email Service

Heinz Tschabitscher

AIM Mail, AOL's free web-based email service, shines with unlimited online storage, very good spam protection and a rich, easy to use interface.
Unfortunately, AIM Mail lacks a bit in productivity (no labels, smart folders and message threading), but makes up for some of that with very functional IMAP (as well as POP) access.

3. GMX Mail - Free Email Service

Heinz Tschabitscher

GMX Mail is a reliable email service filtered well of spam and viruses whose 5 GB of online storage you can use not only through a rich web interface but also via POP or IMAP from a desktop email program.
More and smarter ways to organize mail could be nice.

4. Yahoo! Mail - Free Email Service

Heinz Tschabitscher

Yahoo! Mail is your ubiquitous email program on the web with unlimited storage and RSS news feeds, SMS texting and instant messaging to boot.
While Yahoo! Mail is generally a joy to use, free-form labelling and smart folders would be nice, and the spam filter could catch junk even more effectively.

5. Zenbe Personal - Free Email Service

Heinz Tschabitscher

Zenbe Personal organizes your emails and attachments (from Zenbe and existing POP accounts) with labels and search — and integrates calendar, to-do list, twitter and Facebook updates, too.
With a focus on elegant simplicity, Zenbe provides many sweet shortcuts but also shows quirks and omissions in others. The spam filter is good, but it would be great if IMAP access was possible for all folders (not just the inbox).

6. Gawab.com - Free Email Service

Heinz Tschabitscher

Gawab.com is a speedy, stable and very usable free email service with 10 GB online space, POP and IMAP access as well as many a web-based goodie.
It's a pity Gawab.com's IMAP implementation does not give you access to labels, and full message search is missing from the web interface.

7. Inbox.com - Free Email Service

Heinz Tschabitscher

Inbox.com not only gives you 5 GB to store your mail online but also a highly polished, fast and functional way to access it via either the web (including speedy search, free-form labels and reading mail by conversation) or through POP in your email program.
Unfortunately, IMAP access is not supported by Inbox.com, and its tools for organizing mail could be improved with smart or self-teaching folders.

8. FastMail Guest Account - Free Email Service

Heinz Tschabitscher

FastMail is a great free email service with IMAP access, useful features, and a stellar web interface.
It's a pity FastMail does not offer truly effective spam filtering for free accounts, and more storage space for all users.

9. Yahoo! Mail Classic - Free Email Service

Heinz Tschabitscher

Yahoo! Mail Classic is a comfortable, reliable and secure email service with unlimited storage. A pretty good spam filter keeps the junk out, and you can send rich emails using Yahoo! Mail's HTML editor.

10. Windows Live Hotmail - Free Email Service

Heinz Tschabitscher

Windows Live Hotmail is a free email service that gives you a 5 GB of online storage, fast search, solid security and an interface easy as a desktop email program.
When it comes to organizing mail, Windows Live Hotmail does not go beyond folders (to saved searches and tags, for example), its spam filter could be more effective, and POP or IMAP access are missing.

Gmail이 1등이군요. 오오 역시 승리의 G메일입니다. 야후가 4위와 9위에 나란히 발을 걸치고 있는 것과 핫메일이 10등인 것은 조금 의외네요.
역시 구글은 넘을 수 없는 사차원의 벽일까요..^^

우선 글의 출처를 밝혔지만 다 가져오는 것은 예의가 아니라는 생각에 10개만 가져왔습니다. 나머지 7개 사이트도 정말 처음보는 것들이네요. 

궁금하신 분은 한번 위의 주소로 들어가보시는 것도 좋을 것 같습니다.

이렇게나 다양한 해외의 좋은 이메일들이 있는지는 몰랐네요. 일단 좀 여유가 생기면 한번씩 들어가서 가입해보고 리뷰를 쓰는 것도 재미있을 것 같습니다.
