IzyMail: A Good Email Solution for Hotmail, AOL users
Users of Hotmail (and other proprietary emai services such non-paid Yahoo , MSN, AOL) don’t have much the way to use standard email client, if they don’t want to give up their email address.
If you are Windows Mobile users, it’s even harder, since most of the above email services don’t support the standard POP3, IMAP, etc..so in order to configure the email program client such Outlook is not an easy task if it’s not even possible.
Much as I liked Hotmail from few years back, Microsoft has pretty much left Hotmail the way it was from the day they acquired it. Hotmail’s features and functions are behind the curve when comparing to modern web-based email such Gmail (or Yahoo Ajax email)
I ran in to a good solution called IzyMail. IzyMail enables you to access webmail from major providers such as AOL, Yahoo, MSN, Hotmail or Windows Live and IzyMail provides you with POP3 interface so you any eMail application (e.g. Outlook) and be used.
Whether you want to use Outlook, Thunderbird, Evolution, Palm PDA, Pocket PC, Smartphone or other applications, whether you want to automate eMail processing with rules or use advanced anti-virus or spam protection, IzyMail provides the technology you need.
Furthermore, for Gmail users: Gmail now offers the email fetcher function, so you can automatically forward all your Hotmail, AOL, MSN, Yahoo to Gmail via IzyMail as shown below.
Thanks, but this is 30 day feature only.
Cheers!

Certainly gmail is the best free email service that one can think of currently.
