The free e-mail war!

A big war happens now between Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, Mozilla and other big companies...

The reason:The free e-mail services.

What e-mail should I choose?
Gmail:It offers the most available space 2.7 GB. You can chat via it search the Web using Google and enjoy your 2.7 free GBs.

YahooMail:It offers 1 GB(or 2 GB by paying).It has numerous useful servises but it's a typical e-mail service.

Hotmail:It used to be the best, but not anymore. It's like Yahoo! but it's offerinf only 250 MB
Thunderbird: It's a useful client. You can download it and have it in your computer. You can have your Yahoo mails or Hotamils or Gmails into it.

Outlook:It's the program of the Windows and the most popular of all, since amateur users don't know anything different.

My personal advice is Gmail. Plenty of room and of course useful services.The only drwback is that only if you're sent an invitation you can have your Gmail account.

Thunderbird and Outlook aren't email servers.

i got 100 of them i think, and they regenerate, so i feel generous :-p

Your own mail server would be option number 3. :smile:

I agree, gmail is a lot improved than yahoo or any other email in my view and Its also a lot simpler​
 

Thread 'Is AI hype?'

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...

Thread 'MS 365 Profile Badge colour'

Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term.

Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
