E-mail Services

[Starshine]

I am wanting to offer e-mail to visitors / members of my site.
I'd like some ideas for services to use.

I am currently set up with Google Hosted E-mail ... I have tried the Windows Live Custom Domains ...

Is there anything else that may be easy to setup, easy to use, easy to have people check their messages?

I think gmail hosted is the best choice. It works so well.

How exactly is it the best?
Doesn't have folders to move messages to.
I find it a pain, honestly.

you may run own web mail service
you can use
roundcubemail (free script)
HiveMail (paid)... if it interested mail me
and
@mail (paid) (i didnt work with it)

I like mail.aol.com You can make your own email domain for free!!

You get around that with labels. Just label things instead of folder-ing them.

For example, if you want all x10 emails to be separated, create a filter that takes anything from the x10 address and applies the label "x10", and skips the inbox.

But its still all cluttered in my inbox. Labels or not, they are still there. Which makes it a pain, IMO.

That's what the "archive" is for. You can bump stuff out of the index.

Making a filter that applies a label and skips the inbox works the same as a filter that would send to a folder. And you can apply filters to already-received email.

I use Gmail and would really recommend it...but when it comes to what you want, use the aol thing that Zach posted.

AOL e-mail doesn't really help, as I already have a domain and don't really need them to make me one.
