I vote for hotmail, however I hopw they will add some more mb's there in the capacity someday.
But I also wanna mention the "other" email account which is walla at http://mail.walla.com. Lots of space, simple as hell.
The road to success is always under construction.

I LOVE Yahoo! (I know, BIG surprise coming from me). But it was the first one I used and liked way back in the 90's. I first had Hotmail but REALLY liked Yahoo! much better....and I still do!

As did I. I have tried several email services since the 90's, and Yahoo! has seemed to be the best of them all for me. Boo ya Yahoo! []

oh screw you both then *thbbt* heheh, I guess I'm going to just go big and say gmail. Simple, quick, I like the reply format, yadda yadda, it's not even a matter of the storage for me, I just like it better.

No, I probably can't help you.
But I might be able to make you laugh and forget that you just nuked 16 hours of photoshop work.

Lots of space and POP3 mail. What more could I need, Gmail?

Yeah, Gmail all the way. Great spam filter, very small ads and Massive Storage. Also, my college hasn't banned it yet, unlike Hotmail and Yahoo.
If the thought of something makes me giggle for longer than 15 seconds, I am to assume that I am not allowed to do it.

I think the user interface of Gmail is the best overall, I don't need anywhere near that much space, It's all about the UI for me.

I have all 3, Yahoo is still my favorite though. Hotmail has always given me problems, so now I just use that account for some of the sites where entering an email address is required. That's the account where all my spam goes. I like Yahoo simply because Yahoo is the only IM client I use and it alerts me to new mail. Only thing Yahoo is missing is POP access. I haven't started using my g-mail much yet, but I do like it so far... just seems like too much of a hassle to switch over right now.
