If you haven't heard about Gmail, its the new web email offered by Google. It has a huge 1 G storage space for mail and has a unique filtering system. Right now, it is only in beta mode, so you can't get an account unless you are invited.

I have an account and have received several invites. If anyone is interested, please email me at:

A Google approach to email.

Gmail is an experiment in a new kind of webmail, built on the idea that you should never have to delete mail and you should always be able to find the message you want. The key features are:
