Inbox.com is a popular host for free web-based email and other services, including free online photo sharing, news, games, online cards, and now an interface for mobile email as well. The site has big corporation written all over it, which means that it is highly professional and continuously expanding and evolving. Inbox is definitely comparable with any of the other big webmail services such as gmail, yahoo, aol, and hotmail. My only complaint about their home page is that it is a tad overwhelming with all the information and links. I liked all the information, but I think they could break it up a bit to allow the eyes to digest all the information it offers.

| Not true about the delay in outbound e-mails. I have tested and it is almost immediate. Not sure if you have an axe to grind as you are posting this mis-information all over the place. | ||

| Be warned that this service is slow to send outbound e-mails. Testing shows typical delays of 10 to 15 minutes, or longer. E-mail is not an immediate communications venue, like a chat room, but that is too long a delay. The delay can be seen by reviewing the Received headers to see when you submitted the e-mail (also check your own e-mail client just in case what they list is different) to when it finally submits it to the target (recipient's) mail host.Also, every outbound e-mail that you send through their "free" service will get spamified. That is, they will append spam onto your outbound e-mails sent through their service. There was no spam signature when using their webmail interface, only when using their POP3 access (which is the only means that I intend to use to provide for local management of my e-mails). So be aware that your outbound e-mails sent through their POP3 server will probably be seen as spam. Lots of other "free" e-mail services do this, too, so it is something to watch for. Personally I never use any "free" service that generates spam "on my behalf". Free should not equate to spam.Be aware that their description of their POP3 access is that it is currently in beta testing during which that service will remain free. Once it is out of beta, they reserve the right to change the conditions of its use. Well, duh, guess what that means? When it is no longer beta, they are going to charge for it. | ||
