Free Outlook Mail stationery
We've had a number of requests lately from
visitors using Outlook Express Mail, asking
where they can get custom stationery to liven up
their correspondence. This is the place to go.
Here, you'll find a wonderful collection of free
themed stationery for use on Outlook. Each
self-installing package includes beautiful
scrolling backgrounds, and some include music.
(These files are for
Outlook Express running on Windows. They
won't work on Outlook Express for the Mac).

E-mail stationery for Microsoft
Outlook Express). Funletters are easy to use
and there is a wide variety of styles to choose
from. You can also add sound and music to your
Funletters, as well.

Yahoo! Mail
Yahoo! Mail, currently the Net's most popular
free Web-based E-mail service, offers a powerful
package that includes such nifty features as
spam filtering and password protection for
outgoing E-mails. We particularly like the
Norton Antivirus feature, which automatically
scans incoming E-mail attachments.
- Note: On Nov. 15,
2004, Yahoo! Mail increased the amount of
space available with its free accounts from
100 megabytes to 250 megabytes (a decision
likely prompted by rival Google's plans to
offer 1 gigabyte of space with its upcoming
Gmail E-mail service).
-
T-Mail.com
This nifty, free easy-to-use service will
translate your E-mail for you. You can use it to
help ease the language barrier with your friend
and business contacts overseas. Supported
languages are English, Spanish, French, German,
Italian and Portuguese. Note that the
translations are done by computer and, as a
result, may be flawed, and "cannot be relied
upon for documents which require precise
translation."
-
MailandNews.com
(Note: MailandNews.com's
E-mail/voice access feature has been suspended).
How'd you like to be able to access your E-mail
via your phone? Or access your existing POP3
E-mail account via the Web, anywhere you go?
MailandNews.com, a fast-rising free E-mail and
newsgroup access provider offers all this, as
well as a free Web-based E-mail service that
gives you a hefty 10 megs of space for your
messages and attachments.
- Although the
E-mail-by-phone feature is free (via a
toll-free phone number), you'll have to make
a long-distance call to access your E-mail,
if you don't live in the U.S. or Canada.
