Webmail: Which Is Best?
Yet another comparison of web-based offerings from the big boys: Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook.com, AOL and Hushmail

Hushmail seems overpriced to me.
Also the web site seems to have very little useful info on it / very little info on it regarding its technology, eg what AV etc. Also misleading in at least one respect: "Mobile access BlackBerry, iPhone, Android, Windows Phone" Might think that is activesync or similar, it is not, it is m.hushmail.whatever access !! |

Rankin is another jerry pournelle. Doesn't understand technology he writes about.

Yahoo's "new" forwarding for free accounts has been "iffy" at best. Some of my accounts have had the option while some didn't. Although all the accounts I wanted to forward (2), I was eventually able to do so. I don't know whether they've finally got this option fixed for all accounts or not.
As for AOL, I've never seen a forwarding option for them. Of all the "major" email services, it may be the only one which has never added it, that I'm aware of. Although I admit that I log into my AOL accounts very seldom (the main reason I'd like to forward them), so if they've more recently added this feature, I remain unaware of it or how to get to the alleged option for it. |

Moderator: This thread was reported to the moderators for one reason but I will fault it for a slightly different one. Let's be unambiguous in the criticisms we make and stick to discussing the technology instead of bickering. Please sidetrack that previous stuff about Outlook's POP capability unless there is more content to share.
