Litepost webmail is a rather nice looking free webmail system. I’ve just registered and was able to get malcolm at litepost dot com! The best I could hope for with Hotmail would be malcolm583598, or something equally unmemorable.

I don’t use Hotmail but I hear that sometimes users don’t receive mail due to Hotmail’s filtering of incoming mail. There is no mention of filtering with the Litepost service. I also believe the problem works the other way round as well, Hotmail users outgoing mail is sometimes flitered out by the recipients mail system. I sent an email using Litepost webmail to my regular e-mail address which uses SpamAssassin to score e-mails and the mail scored a perfect zero!

I don’t have much need of a free webmail service (I’ve got webmail for my own domain) but it may come in handy once in a while.
