Largest Capacity Free Email Providers

[ZhengHe]

For the last year or so free email capacity has been increasing at a dramatic, perhaps unprecedented rate. Whether this has been because of severe drops in the price of memory, the ungoing war between Yahoo and Google for both Search Engine and Email domination, or a host of other things email capacity has undergone a dramatic change so that what once seemed ludicrous idea, the thought of an email account with 1GB or more has become commonplace. Here is a list of links to today's highest capacity free email services:

In making this list, although some of the email accounts have proved reliable and are known to be reliable I do not claim any of these email accounts to be particularly reliabe or secure, so use your good judgement.

But whats the point of a huge email account if you can't send huge attachments? Here's a way to 1Gb files free via email:

anonymous, fast, easy and free. This is bound to come in handy for something. Granted the email address you're sending it to better have 1 GB free, but still a good find.

You may have noticed the abscence of the notoriously unreliable, bang your head against a wall trying to log in aventuremail free 2 GB service. That is, because though the service still claims to be free and actually has upped its storage limit to 2-10GB email accounts it now requires a $2 activation fee to prevent abuse, ect... It still claims to be free, but as far as my definition of free email services go it doesn't fit the category anymore. For more information on aventuremail anyway you can go here: http://www.aventuremail.co.uk/

All for now, although there are bound to be others in the future. If anyone comes up with any others I haven't thought of, just post them in the thread and I'll include them. Hope this proves helpful to someone.

Yeah, Gmail's getting the job done, what with the 2+gigs of space.

AIM is part of the Aol Network. You sign up for AIM, you've signed up for the Aol network, whether you use Aol for your internet or not. Just try signing in, works fine for me.

 

[dicecca112]

have you done it, because it doesn't work for me

 

[ZhengHe]

have you done it, because it doesn't work for me

Yes, I've done it. I'll try and see if I can post a screenshot of it, just give me a sec.

 

[dicecca112]

bah, only works with IE, screw that.

I am using GMail's POP access and I am loving it!

 

[Kalivos]

POP Access is fun.

 

[khiloa]

POP access awesome when it works. I have had no problems with GMail's POP access but I have searched for free POP mail in the past and it would work about half the time. GMail is love.

 

[Benvanz]

Yes! got me a 1TB email account.....thx ZhengHe

 

[khiloa]

1TB? There's no reason!

 

[squasher]

yeah, and its uber slow, but its fun to have one

 

[khiloa]

I guess you can go around bragging about it but it could take a few thousand years to fill it up.

I get a fair amount of mail and GMail is only a few % full.

 

[Paradoxmaker]

I really like my gmail account but I have 2 complaints about it.

1) you have a 10mb limit on attachments
2) even if your attachment is under 10mb you can not send .exe files, even if they are in a .zip file for security reasons.

Both my Gmail and my regular MSN acct have the .exe restriction. I understand the need for security but everyone's email can't have a similar restriction, can they?

BTW: what in the why world would anyone possibly need 4gb of email space. I have had my Gmail account for over a year and have never exceeded 10mb of use. To me once you get into having 1000's of emails and attachments stored most people will never remember what they have and don't have.

 

[adriana]

gmail is awesome but sometime it makes me mad because its down

 

[Blueacid]

Gmail isn't smart enough to look inside zip files, which are THEN AGAIN inside zip files


Zip the .exe file


then Zip that Zip.


Worked for me

 

[khiloa]

What about .tgz'ing the .exe. Do they look in .tgz files?

...I may have to try out that AOL thing... Except for AIM I hate them with every fiber of my body. If AOL Mail isn't spamtastic, it may just be another service that I like (lots of space, and most importantly IMAP ACCESS!!)

EDIT: dicecca112, I'm using Firefox and AIM Mail is working fine for me Where specifically were you having a problem?
