Mail.com is a basic email program. It includes all the features an email service requires, and a few extras. Mail.com filters known spammers, including phishers, and tries very hard to prevent unwanted mail from reaching your inbox. Unfortunately, sometimes junk slips through. Mail.com allows you to report any spam that the filters don’t catch.

You can use a dozen customizable filters to help sort and organize your incoming mail. Additionally, you can establish black and white lists to block or allow specific addresses.

Mail.com includes a few practical extras like a calendar and notepad. Mail.com’s most unique feature is audio mail. You can have your mail read to you in a variety of languages, English, UK English, German, French, Italian, Dutch, Japanese and more. Additionally, you can choose you domain name from a large selection of choices. If you do not want to be name@mail.com you can choose, @dublin.com, @techie.com, @europe.com, @doglover.com and many more.

We were pleased customer support returned our email in about a day.

While Mail.com is a practical and easy–to–use email service, they only offer 3 GB of inbox storage, there is no POP3 access and only includes a plain text composer. However, it does include spell check, unlike many other plain text composers.

The most frustrating aspect of Mail.com is the occasional pop–up ad. Although our browser filters stopped most of these, a few still made it through.
