If you are looking for free email service providers than you must be a choosy person but this is a good habit. Now take a look at this post. Here I am listing worlds 10 most popular email service providers and explaining, why you should join them or not ?

Gmail - Free mail provider

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 mail precisely and see it in context without effort.
