Advantages: few

Disadvantages: uninspired

Yes its yet another web based email! I have an altavista email account (I've got the lot really), but I find that this one is not so good as some of the others. Mainly because I find that its a tad bit SLOOOOW I guess, but I really find the whole service a little bit uninspired, unlike hotmail and yahoo who are more innovative. I also find that navigation between emails is cumbersome.

Its main features are as follows:

1. There's a settings option where you make changes to the appearance and operation of your account.

2. You can make customized signatures and create the appearance of sending mail from your other accounts.

3. You can automatically answer incoming mail with a set message while you're away.

4. You can consolidate your separate email addresses to your Web Mail address (get your other mail delivered here).

And thats about it really. Not leading edge is it?
