Looking for a great web-based email solution? A Web mail service from San Francisco-based Oddpost is an excellent option. At first Oddpost looks much like a standard desktop e-mail client such as Outlook or Eudora but it's actually browser-based, just like any other Web mail service. Oddpost also supports drag-and-drop, message previewing, flexible display customization, right-click menus and automatic address completion. The feature that sold me was the ability to not only download email from other POP servers, but to change the return address! You get 30MB of storage space and the ability to send/receive attachments up to 10MB. And there's no advertising, either - on the interface or in your messages. It only works under Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher for Windows but they are working on Mac and Mozilla compatibility. They are constantly adding new features and welcome suggestions. Cost is $30 per year with a 30-day trial period.
