It's not been long since email caught up as a mean of communication to many, but with the load-shedding hitting everyone hard, it's not surprising that the use has gone down. However, everyone chooses to open an account with maximum features (even though one doesn't use all) and of course, the inbox space. So who's the best in the line of action? Who should you sign up with? Here's WAVE helping you out in this certain dilemma.

Windows Live Hotmail
Hotmail along with Yahoo, was the first to start the email craze in Nepal and it revolutionised the way we communicated. Offering just 1 MB of space back then, Hotmail now gives 5 GB plus. Maybe that's the reason why we see so many people with @hotmail.com address. The soul reason now, however, for people to sign up for Hotmail is to use MSN Chat but you should know that you can access MSN without a Hotmail address. Besides the chat, Hotmail has an easy interface to work with.
Upcoming features:1. Ever-growing storage. Your inbox capacity will automatically increase as you need more space2. IM through Hotmail. See if your Messenger contacts are online and say Hi! 3. Helpful new calendar features that make it easier to share your calendar with friends and family.
Yahoo! Mail
Yahoo! is probably the least used email address in Nepal. Very few people opt to choose Yahoo! Mail over Hotmail or Gmail. But our neighboring country, India, has plenty of Yahoo users, giving a boost to the company. Yahoo has recently introduced email chat. This allows users to chat from your inbox, without the need to download a messenger for it. The chat is sophisticated and easy to use. What Yahoo gives which other mail boxes don't give is Sign-in-Seal. When you're signing in, if you don't see your sign-in seal, it's likely to be a spoof page created by a phisher to steal your personal information. Taking users privacy seriously, this was introduced and it works. Other features are pretty much similar to that of Hotmail.
Upcoming features:1. Large file sharing2. Birthday reminders
Gmail
Hotmail and Yahoo's living time is surely gone. This has got to be the Gmail generation. With easy interface, built-in chat, text, voice, or video to free SMS (only in the US), Gmail has over 7 GB of storage and not to mention the features they are planning to add. It also brought a revolution by adding chat in the web interface and so everyone else including Hotmail and Yahoo have been busy creating something similar for its users. Another cool thing about Gmail is that, you get to use the features before it is launched. However, not everyone gets to use it. You need to be a regular gmail-er and seeing your log-in entries, it allows you to use such features. If you are a true-gmail-er you will see 'New Lab Feature' besides your setting (top right). Also, you should check out the themes in Gmail.
Upcoming features:1. Labels: auto-complete and 'move to'2. Gmail stickers3. Voicemail through Google Talk4. New in Labs: Tasks5. Increased attachment limit of upto 20 MB
