I've dug around for free email services with large message sizes allowed. The best I could find was 30MB at http://4844.runbox.com/ for a month. Does anyone know of others that top that?

Hotmail are updating their service for free users very soon. They say that we are gettign 250 Megabytes of space, and that we can send/receive emails of about 10 Megabytes in size, and we'll be getting proper anti-virus protection. I had a look at the page you linked to, and it does seem like a good site, but you will have to pay for it after 30 days. Hotmail doesn't have a time limit, so in that respect it might be your best option in the long-run. Yahoo Mail offers 100 Megabytes of space to store your mails, plus a briefcase and webspace totalling about 50 Megs combined. I think the send/receive size is pretty standard though. A decent free email service is hard to come by these days, and they are usually favourite targets for hackers lol. Plus some registration processes online don't allow free email addresses, because they are too difficult to track or something. It sucks :( So, as far as totally free services go, Hotmail same to be on top.

If you want to send some huge files (and of course who wouldn't?) try You Send It (http://s11.yousendit.com/). I think another member here posted a link to it one time, and apparently I paid attention. :)

the problem with big email attachments, is you may be able to send it but the receiver may not be able to receive it because of size limitation on their mail server. It is best to use a service like briefcase.yahoo.com or some other online storage.
