2. AIM Mail – Free Email Service
Unfortunately, AIM Mail lacks a bit in productivity (no labels, smart folders and message threading), but makes up for some of that with very functional IMAP (as well as POP) access.

3. GMX Mail – Free Email Service
More and smarter ways to organize mail could be nice.

4. Yahoo! Mail – Free Email Service
While Yahoo! Mail is generally a joy to use, free-form labelling and smart folders would be nice, and the spam filter could catch junk even more effectively.

5. Zenbe – Free Email Service
With a focus on elegant simplicity, Zenbe provides many sweet shortcuts but also shows quirks and omissions in others. The spam filter is good, but it would be great if IMAP access was possible for all folders (not just the inbox).

6. Gawab.com – Free Email Service
It’s a pity Gawab.com’s IMAP implementation does not give you access to labels, and full message search is missing from the web interface.
Gawab.com Review
7. Inbox.com – Free Email Service
Unfortunately, IMAP access is not supported by Inbox.com, and its tools for organizing mail could be improved with smart or self-teaching folders.

10. Windows Live Hotmail – Free Email Service
Windows Live Hotmail is a free email service that gives you a 5 GB of online storage, fast search, solid security and an interface easy as a desktop email program.
When it comes to organizing mail, Windows Live Hotmail does not go beyond folders (to saved searches and tags, for example), its spam filter could be more effective, and POP or IMAP access are missing.

11. BigString.com – Free Email Service
BigString.com is a free 2 GB email service that includes rich secure and certified mail services and lets you password-protect, expire or edit sent messages, for example.
Unfortunately, BigString.com is not equally well equipped for handling incoming mail and lacks organizing tools.
BigString.com Review
12. Lavabit – Free Email Service
It’s a pity Lavabit restricts statistical spam filtering to paid accounts and lacks a fully fledged web interface.

14. HotPOP – Free Email Service
Unfortunately, HotPOP lacks IMAP access and a web-based email interface and is a bit short on storage space.
HotPOP Review
15. My Way Mail – Free Email Service
It lacks secure messaging and other advanced, non-essential features, though.
