What do you use? (Web Based E-Mail)

[SYNACK]

Exchange webmail FTW

[EvLPhenom]

for personal use both hotmail and gmail.

[Geoff]

gmail for random stuff. Hushmail is my 'real' mail account.

[36Degrees]

MSN (which is effectively Hotmail) - main personal account

Hotmail - other personal account used mainly for eBay, forum registration, etc.

Google Mail - Work

[featured_spectre]

Hotmail for sign ups to stuff (EG Sign ups to websites and such like)

Gmail for purchases and personal emails (ebay, play.com, amazon etc)

 

Business use (my own personal domain account) Outlook with heavy spam filters. I would do OWA but can't justify it when the webmail client works just fine.

[dhicks]

My own mail server, running on my home server, accessed via SquirrelMail.

[webman]

I had you down as more of a "Raw commands via telnet" person

 

Gmail all the way for personal use. Zimbra at the school.

[MatthewL]

I have a Yahoo account for use on the Yahoo groups, I have my own mail hosted at 1&1 so use their webmail and Outlook client. I also use GMail for the odd bit and at work its an Exchange 2007 setup we connect to (hosted externally) so a mix of Outlook and their hack of OWA.

[Diello]

Google "everything" for personal use - Android phone as well. OWA for work.

[JoeBloggs]

I use hotmail mainly...

Use Exchange at work - but have a Google Calendar Sync (1 way)

Then I use my GMail Calendar on my android phone

I have my own domain name e-mail addy too - just all 3 accounts set up on my S2.

[CyberNerd]

Used to have ssh to a box running pine on the command line

pretty much a rip off of 1990's Cambridge University email system before they 'upgraded' it to webmail.

Pine rocked, much faster than any modern webmail system!

[Sylv3r]

gmail for personal use - at school we use a product called FirstClass for staff and Zimbra for students - soon to be moving to Live@Edu

[MatthewL]

I forgot to say that to get my work email on my HTC I have to use Touchdown to let it work.

I noticed this story on Slashdot recently:

 

Gate One 0.9 Released, Brings SSH To the Web - Slashdot

 

A web-based SSH client - your webmail could be Pine running via SSH.

Because a text only shell is totally comparable the kind of thing that Flash and Silverlight were designed to do

 

Not that I don't share your dislike of Flash but it seems like a poor example of the passing of the web plugin.

you misunderstand my perspective here. The fact that a traditional program can be rewritten in html is a significant breakthrough. Being able to reproduce traditional client-server applications in a native browser without the addition of plugins is a GOOD thing. The more the community is able to develop resources that are free from unnecessary licensing restrictions that prevent their application on certain devices; the better it will be for everybody.

I'm curious, for those that manage email at a school, how do you provision users into said email system? I know you can use Powershell for Office 365 and I believe gmail has APIs you can call...

[Michael]

Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Zimbra Mail and Round Cube Webmail.

as you say Googlemail has a tool that automatically creates and maintains accounts directly from active directory

Custom PHP script + CouchDB database that syncs AD accounts with Zimbra.
