As I have two computers at home, and I am regularly travelling, I needed access to all my e-mails all the time, and everywhere. The protocol that supports synchronising e-mail between different computers is called IMAP. I have been looking around, and it took me a while before I found a professional and affordable service. Imap4All.com offers accounts as of less than a dollar per month. I picked their Silver account, as it offers Spam and Virus filtering, and an astonishing 1 GB of disk space. The service was easy to configure with the support pages. I use Outlook Express at home, and their web mail client when abroad.
The service is fast and reliable so far. One of the advantages is that via Imap E-mail is delivered to you almost real-time. The web mail client is user friendly, and creates automatically an easy to use address book. A great option is the possibility to integrate existing Pop3 or Hot mail accounts into your Imap4All account. It allows you to migrate your existing mail address to your new Imap4All address, and makes them accessible via IMAP. A simple to use admin tool comes with the service to manage your account. I am now thinking of having my own family domain name, it seems to be very easy to get one via Imap4All. Additionally 10 MB of web space is offered for free under your own domain name.
