Looking for a good web based email site to offer the following:
- about 50MB email storage
- be able to add/delete folders
- be able to "search" the whole email account for "text" and/or "email address"
- Address book
- signiture
- handle attachments
- reliable/fast servers
- responsive tech support
Thats about all. So far a good one I found is http://www.in-box.net, but they don't offer "search" which to me is very important. Also your email address would be "xxxx.in-box.net" which is really not very appealing and easy to remember address. Anyone know about any other good web-based emails out there?

If you are talking about free services then they are all pretty much the same.
My webhosting company offers unlimited pop3 email accounts and I can use outlook express or the web based version for when I am not home. You can have all your accounts forward to one single account so you don't need to log in a dozen places but by the account name you give it you can see where it comes from. Auto-reponders, signatures etc etc.
If you are a serious seller, full-time or plan to be you really should think about owning all of your accounts and not rely on the freebie crap of cyberspace.
Anything you place on feebie sites whether it be email messages or pictures remember you don't own the space it is on. It could go out of business tomorrow as was the case of that auction picture hosting company (forgot the name) that a bunch of Ebayers used that is now dead.
Tech support from a freebie service?? If you get any response it will most likely be a canned auto-responder with a link to FAQ.
In summary own all of your accounts and have full control of your business. Paying customers will get better results with tech support (unless you email ebay for help lol)
