This guy can be pretty harsh at times, but he’s clearly very knowledgeable..

However, not all providers have a recent review, and his priorities are skewed heavily to the “paranoid” side of the tech world. For example, he considers being able to mail cash to a provider a significant pro. The overwhelming majority of users aren’t mailing cash to pay for their email.

Overall, it’s good info that’s worth sharing.

    Any idea how old that article is? Couldn’t find a date but the mention of Windows 7 tells me it’s not recent.

    I still have my netscape.net address (AOL) and all the others (Yahoo, MS Live, Outlook). Also a second GMail address that was created/converted when TheBat service shutdown.

    I use Thexyz and Purely Mail for normal use though.

      It’s got updates from earlier this year. It appears to be updated periodically since it was first written. Some sections are old, while others are fairly new.
