ZZN

ZZN mail lets you create your OWN customized email service.
Users can sign up and login to your email from www.your-name.zzn.com, or directly from your website.

Its remotely hosted, so there is no resource drain on your end.

# Increase site stickiness by having users check their mail from your site.
# Brand your email colors and logos to that of your site.
# Choose from 14 interface languages.
# Promote your site using the tagline attached to every outgoing message.
# Keep in touch with your users using the mailing list feature.

Customization tools are mediocre, but acceptable.

You don't get alot of space with it, but it may help keep or bring in traffic.

This way, users might use it for mailing list mailing or to contact the webmaster without divulging their email address.

Very nice, will probably add it to my Useful Resources section.

How on earth do you stop your good name from being abused as people sign up? What with phishing, nigerian scams etc aren't most people putting email hosting into the too hard basket?

Sorry. Didn't get the thread that well. Pay minimum for email hosting. It will pay off in the end. There are some legit free hosts, but they all have popups, and ads, etc. They are good if you are starting a website though.

Get http://www.hivemail.com/ for your own site better... :P At least you have your domain as the email account rather than me@yoursite.zzn.com...

nice link wongpk - the more options the better

Hivemail looks nicer but you can only a demo for free, full lisence costs $180. Its a good solution if you want to build your own email network, but most people are going to instant messaging anyway, at least according to recent surveys.
