I would say that for an email client, try out for free Mozilla Thunderbird to read your emails from any of the service providers that support SMTP or POP3 mails.

I currently use Microsoft Outlook and Thunderbird, and even though Thunderbird is less fancy, it works better...


Now what I think you're talking about is what email provider to use.

Personally, I like to use gmail as my free service provider for emails.

I have a hotmail account that's filled with spam, and my yahoo account has expired. But at least with gmail you know what you're getting...

I think that they do collect your information though, to help with their advertising. Not 100% sure what type of information they collect, but it's not a biggie with me.

Good luck with your choice!
