Gmail, is email powered by google. AFAIK, gmail has the largest storage of any free email. Currently 2.5+ gigabytes of free storage. SWIh has a gmail account. It has a great format for sending and replying. Doesn't display them as seperate messages, but more like a chat room conversation or message board style display for replies. Highly recommended.
There are websites that send out free gmail invites. Don't know the link, off hand. If sending anotherBEE an email address, make sure it isn't registered in your name (is that illegal?), so they can't reveal your identity. |

There is an option in Gmail to display your screen name as opposed to your first/last name in the 'reply' function. I recommend you look into that (it's under 'options' somewhere) if you're going to use that service. Personally, I have 3 Gmail accounts (50 invites each  ), and they're handy as hell for online storage.
To augment that, you may want to check out the Gmail Drive Shell Extension:

GMail Drive is a Shell Namespace Extension that creates a virtual filesystem around your Google Gmail account, allowing you to use Gmail as a storage medium.
GMail Drive creates a virtual filesystem on top of your Google Gmail account and enables you to save and retrieve files stored on your Gmail account directly from inside Windows Explorer. GMail Drive literally adds a new drive to your computer under the My Computer folder, where you can create new folders, copy and drag'n'drop files to.
Ever since Google started to offer users a Gmail e-mail account, which includes storage space of 2000 megabytes, you have had plenty of storage space but not a lot to fill it up with. With GMail Drive you can easily copy files to your Gmail account and retrieve them again.
When you create a new file using GMail Drive, it generates an e-mail and posts it to your account. The e-mail appears in your normal Inbox folder, and the file is attached as an e-mail attachment. GMail Drive periodically checks your mail account (using the Gmail search function) to see if new files have arrived and to rebuild the directory structures. But basically GMail Drive acts as any other hard-drive installed on your computer.
You can copy files to and from the GMail Drive folder simply by using drag'n'drop like you're used to with the normal Explorer folders.

I think attachment size is limited to something like 10 or 15 megs per file. If you really need to store something big, any archiving/compression program worth a shit has an option to do spanned archives.
I use it, and I like it. |
