Sooner or later, every user connected to the Internet is faced with the question of choosing a mail service. But from their number and, in general, identical service, the eyes run up.

Step 1
First, decide what type of service you are going to use, paid or free. Although there are also paid mail servers on the Internet, the vast majority of our compatriots opt for free e-mail. This is understandable. The service level of the largest companies is at the highest level and practically does not differ from paid hosting. So why waste your hard earned money?
Among the free e-mail servers in Russia, the following sites are especially popular: www.mail.ru, www.rambler.ru, www.yandex.ru, www.gmail.com. Less popular, but worthy of attention, postal service from www.yahoo.com
Step 2
After you have decided to opt for free mail, it remains only to determine which of the above sites is right for you. There are several criteria by which to compare the above mail giants: mailbox size, functionality, usability, and design.
For many, the size of the mailbox is the main factor. This determines the number of letters that you can store on the free mail server and the size of the files that can be sent to you to this mail address.
In this issue, two Russian postal services Mail.ru and Yandex.ru are in the lead. These giants offer registered users to get 10 GB boxes at their disposal. Moreover, on Mail.ru you can, if necessary, at least indefinitely increase this size in 2 GB portions. Not far from this figure and one of the most popular mail services in the world Gmail.com - just over 7 GB.
Step 3
Next, decide on a set of functional duties that your e-mail box will be able to perform. Now the standard set includes such services as spam blocking, antivirus, blacklist, address book, etc.
But many mail services also have specific features. For example, using a mailbox from Mail.ru, you can communicate with friends in real time, as you do using ICQ. In addition, in Mail.ru, mail is built into a social network from this provider and is a link between users of this network.
Companies such as Yandex and the same Mail.ru offer users to download a separate program - a mail client that will allow you to use the services of your email account without a browser.
These same companies provide an opportunity to install the same client program on a mobile phone in order to check your email inbox from anywhere where there is a cellular network.
Step 4
Another important step when choosing mail is the convenience of using your mailbox. Many companies can provide modern services, but they are not able to package it all beautifully. Especially in the Russian market, it is hard for Western companies that are tailored for American and European users. Therefore, such a giant as yahoo.com is not very popular in our country.
Step 5
With all things being equal, the design and layout of the site can be decisive for you. There is already nothing to advise - there are no comrades for taste and color. The main thing is that this factor does not become fundamental for you.
