Which email provider

I am looking to change email account. I am finally leaving Yahoo after another alleged security breach. What is the best free email account in terms of ease of use and security.

Cheers

I've always liked GMX.

Surely Gmail ??! I find their Spam filtering system very efficient ..
Obviously secure, and always only one click away from a google homepage !

I've used GMail since transferring from Tiscali many years ago.
I also managed to keep all my old emails by using Thunderbird, adding both accounts and then doing a drag/drop to do the transfer. It takes a while but it does (did) work.

Sorry, thread hijack in progress. May be useful to the op though.

You just reminded me to have a look at my GMX account - last visited in 2012:eek:.

With gmail, when you create a filter rule, it can also be applied to messages already in the inbox. I can't see any such option in GMX though, and there's a lot of messages I'd like to filter out. Is there a simple way to do this?

I get mine via an email client, as I don't like webmail, and run the filters through that, so haven't been online for some time.
Just had a quick look and can't see any option to run on existing mail.
You could use Thunderbird to do it, that has a 'run now' option on it's filters.
