Lets make a list!

bbauri · 1 Apr 2013, 08:25 PM

I have always wanted to know about Email Service Providers from other countries. So it'll be a great help if you can provide me a list of free ESPs from your respective countries. I know some ESPs are truely multinational, in that case we'll take that ESP belongs to the country where its parent company is based. For example Gmail will be considered an ESP from USA 'cause its parent i.e Google is based there.

As I am from India, here is a list of Indian ESPs I am aware of.

1. Zoho.com
2. India.com/Imail/Zmail
3. Email.biz
4. In.com
5. Ibibo.com
6. Rediffmail.com
7. Sify.com
8. Oneindia.in

Nice topic

I am from Belgium. We have here (restricting to only serious services and non-ISP related)

mail.be
contactoffice.com (offices in different countries but the head office is in Brussels)

Other Belgian email services you will often see are ISP-bound. Then there's a few silly ones who will likely not last very long. The above two however have been around for several years and have a great reputation. I remember a friend who was at university where the teacher recommended his students to use mail.be

Also, while I realise this probably will be of little use, but I am involved with Cuba through a non-profit organisation, and this country has 1 single email service:
correodecuba.cu

It's very widely used, the overwhelming majority of the islanders use this one. Fully free and easy sign up with a form in a Correo de Cuba office

However, this is why I fear you may have little use with this, since signing up requires a form to be given to the Cuban postal services. Maybe they'd accept a fax but there is no way around a real paper form to sign up, there is no online sign-up option. That's why I am not using it myself, even though I'd love to have a correodecuba.cu address myself, but the signing up is hard from abroad.

Servers are based on the island itself, no offices in other locations.

I have resided in some other countries other than Belgium, one of them being Turkey. Unless something changed since I was there, there is NO public free email service with its offices and services in Turkey. Almost all Turks use Gmail, Yahoo or Hotmail, or a domain provided by their ISP. Independent mail providers with servers based in Turkey are inexistant to my knowledge (which means: unless a very very recent one was launched, but I never heard about it)

In Czech Republic, the following local free mail services not attached to an ISP and with servers inside Czech Republic, were very widely used (even more than Gmail and Hotmail) when I was there:

seznam.cz (they have multiple domains, most use seznam.cz, post.cz or email.cz but they're all part of Seznam company. They also owned stream.cz, mainly a video posting website but the domain was available for email too)
Centrum.cz
Atlas.cz (but this one seemed to be less popular than the other two)

@bbauri: In.com only works if you have an Indian cell phone number. So i guess this is only for people in India.

I sure would like to know some large (free) Scandinavian mail providers...I can register with spray.se...but somehow I can not log in afterwards...very funny:-(
I guess they have a IP check?? (I am in Paraguay).

Dutchie.

drew · 5 Apr 2013, 05:03 AM

The reason can be them want the ads to be related to
Swedes and seeing your IP they maybe trust you seldom
will have any usage of all the Swedish ads.

I had an account some year ago at Spray.se but did not like
the way it worked.

I don't know if we have some other email providers?
I could google for Gratis epost sverige but how do I know
if others can join or not?
Here is one that came up high on the list they say
them existed since 2006?

https://www.speedmail.se/

do they allow you to join? How big storage and so on?

I only have one Scandinavian email and that is myopera.com
and them in Norway but maybe have the servers in USA?
1GB that is kind of good. use google translate and see
what reaction you get to join this Swedish one.

Oops passagen wants you to have a swedish mobile number
so not a good suggestion. But I would have only known
if I had tried to join so sorry about being misleading
http://mejl.passagen.se/

the next is so full of ads that I would not recommend it.
I saw it first time today. Beware

http://alexander.fl-net.se/registrera_new2.php

Denmark should have at least one or two free too

what search word would work best?

test to join this one? http://www.mailme.dk/
next say they are the most popular free one in Denmark?

@163.com (as well as @126.com @yeah.net): The largest ESP in China, once I was their Antispam leader. They are under good development, have more than 200 millions users.

@qq.com: from the most popular IM company (the IM named as QQ), it has a big number of young users, but most time they don't follow the standard protocal, so I never use it.

@sina.com: The biggest news site in China, owns the Chinese twitter (weibo.com), its email has long history and numbers of users.

jeffpan · 5 Apr 2013, 10:15 AM

@drew can you help sign up a https://www.speedmail.se/ email for me? thanks.
btw, if you anybody need a chinese email acct, please contact me.

I don't want to make you to be disappointed but such things
I can not do. This is Sweden we are a bit different.
Not exactly like North Korea or like German Democratic Rep.
But Swedes are very formal and correct and do things
by consensus and follow rules and the Jante Law is very strong here.

we simply don't do such things. Sorry. Some ridicule us being
that formally correct
it is named Political Correct but we are so correct that
we are forbidden even to admit we are politically correct
we have to see it as being the way it is.

jeffpan is not asking you to do anything that is illegal Drew, but is merely asking for assistance in order to open up an email account.

You need a Swedish IP address to register at Speedmail.se.

drew · 5 Apr 2013, 10:23 PM

I don't know if it is formally illegal but give me some slack.
It is not how swedes do things. he can find 9 million
other swedes to ask then. To me it is highly unethical to do.

I would not do it for any workmates or neighbors or
siblings or cousins or parents or even a GF. So sorry guys.
thanks for trying though.

Dutchie007 · 6 Apr 2013, 12:19 AM

@drew: thanks for the suggestions...I will give it a try. My swedish is OK so I could read it. yes I was aware that Swedes are " a bit different"...LOL..just kidding. We Dutch are also different....;-)

Did you try
http://www.jubii.dk/

??? it has 5 gigs space....I dunno if it has pop3 or IMAP.

TAK.

Dutchie.

Dutchie007 · 6 Apr 2013, 12:38 AM

At

http://mejl.passagen.se/

you only can sign up if you have a swedish mobile number...they send the pin code to that number for entering into the website:-(

at speedmail I could join...but only after using a swedish proxy. It also has an english interface. Looks kindda retro...but I like it.

Dutchie.

Tsunami · 6 Apr 2013, 01:42 AM

Swedes are different from North Koreans?! :wow: I think the ONLY country being like North Korea, is the fictional one where "1984" was set.

Although slowly email has entered the DPRK now too, so you never know how things evolve even in a few months time.

Anyways, not sure about the Jante Law and its meanings, but helping someone to open an email box seems hardly illegal to me. I think of this were a crime, this forum would be very inactive suddenly... People use proxies daily to bypass restrictions on IP addresses. I'd say you risk little or nothing but on the other hand, if it makes you feel uncomfortable then maybe better not toss and turn about it. A Swedish proxy should be easy enough to establish anyway. Asking someone to do it for you to me sounds less odd than setting up proxies to do it, but again, it's not worth worrying about when a lot of people can probably help Jeffpann with his request.

PS: I think you Swedes are "a little different" as in "very advanced". I am from Belgium and trust me, if you'd offer me a Swedish passport and ask whether I want to move to Sweden, I wouldn't need a second to think about it. Pity that Scandinavia is not exactly cheap. I read in a paper last year Oslo is now at the same level as New York in the ranking of most expensive cities on earth to reside in (Tokyo was still the nr 1)

As Tsunami recently pointed out in another thread, free accounts are available at inmail.cz, a service that is also available as .sk, .pl, .hu.

FredOnline · 6 Apr 2013, 03:06 AM

Perhaps it would have been more prudent for jeffpan to PM drew instead of asking in public.

I know there would probably be the same end result, but drew would have been spared any emotional blackmail from his EMD friends to comply.

Respect his decision and move on.
