Good free Email site?

[PS85]

Since the year 2000 I've been using lycos.com for my Email, which ceases free operation tonight. I pay, or my Emails disappear. Therefore, it would behoove me greatly to move all Emails to a new site. Actually, there really aren't any particularly important Emails, but still.

I got a Google Email but forgot the password, and besides Google seems to be getting a little nosy these days. I used to have a yahoo Email, long since defunct, but think I wouldn't mind trying again. I have a junk Email account at mail.com, but I noticed it didn't have a search function for the free Email. I'd like a search function if possible.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Gmail. Best by far.

I use Gmail for my primary email for all important stuff, and I have a free email at Mail.com for when I sign up for things like grocery store perks, promotional emails, etc. where they sell your email address to other businesses. The Mail.com site has ads which I kinda find annoying, but since they support it being free, I deal with it.

I'm a Yahoo user since 1997 or something ridiculous. I've actually got one account that started as a throwaway account that I use just for signing up for spam or things I don't really want associated with me, and one I try to keep clean but give to places I'm actually interested in. Most of my usernames for sites belong to that account. Then I have a Gmail account for actual important things and it looks a smidge more impressive than a yahoo.com address.

I absolutely hate the way both of them handle replying to emails, though, so I wouldn't recommend either of them.

Gmail by far, plus it has all the other stuff like drive that I use all the time.

I was on ATT since I had DSL and 8 years ago moved and got Fios and kept paying like 8 dollars a month to keep the same ATT email. I've always had a Gmail account but just too lazy to go through and update all the sites I visit with my Gmail email plus all my friends and stuff. But thats all over, it's down to just gmail now.

I like Outlook.com personally, but I'm partial since I can easily pipe it into Outlook through Office 2016. I also use gmail, yahoo, and an old address from my college days. I prefer Outlook out of all of these.

netcourrier.com They've been around forever, and don't have a business model of pawing through your mail. They have a free tier, but the premium is very affordable, and is what I have.

disroot.org is donationware. They haven't been around that long, so who knows what the future brings? I donated money cause I like what they're doing.

Another vote for Gmail. Hotmail/Outlook is very frustrating with their nearly random 2 tier separation (focused and other), causing you to look through tons of spam in both partitions to find your mail.

Out of curiosity, is there a webmail client that blocks remote content in e-mails by default? Because gmail failing to do that barely qualifies it as an e-mail client in my opinion, more like a spammer's delight.

Outlook.com and Gmail.com are my favorites by far. Would definitely recommend either of them.

gmail is good I now use aol as I have a verizon acct and it was moved and that suits my need as well so you can make an aol acct as well.

Gmail, Outlook(Hotmail) and Yahoo. These are the only services which use to offer free e-mail at first, don't have any idea about other services as I have been using them for a very long time now.
