Best free email service?

What do you think is the best free email service? I used to use Hotmail but I got frustrated with it.  Now I use yahoo and it is decent but some little things frustrate me.

I know some of my friends use gmail.  Is there anything else to use?

I like having a search function to search through my massive inbox.  I also send and receive a lot files so a large allotment in that regard would be nice.  The 10 mb limit on yahoo isn't too bad but more is better.  Then I could do higher quality compression.

Thoughts?

I like Gmail because it has absolutely no ads. While Microsoft lowered their ads recently Yahoo is still full of them, and I hate that.

However, Gmail is a little different than the others when it comes to organizing messages. You can't create the usual folders but you have labels.

Maybe you should give it a try, I don't know whether it is your style or not, but there's only one way to find out

I didn't consider that.  I do have some folders but it is not a requirement.

So that takes care of the usual suspects.  Are there any others?

I like Gmail, it feels clean and organized. But then again, I've never tried any other mail services...

What i mentioned(however its spelled <.< is that you can use a program like Thunderbird to open and read your mail instead of using the browser.

Why bother? I never use such programs, I consider them a waste of your computer's resources. What's so hard to open your browser for that?
