    Hotmail, Gmail and Yahoo are all pretty standard and easy to set up. Hotmail has just this week had a bit of a facelift which makes it nice to use.

    As above, but as far as i know Hotmail doesnt let you use a email client such as Outlook etc unless you pay for the upgrade version.

    But Microsoft are releasing "Windows live desktop" which is in beta and will let you access emails on your desktop.

    "Windows live desktop" is this any good? as i've been considering ditching hotmail for Gmail so i can use the firefox products. Thunderbird etc instead and also keep my email on an online server as well
