Internet users should look for sufficient security protection when selecting free web mail providers. Not all free services provide virus protection, says Stuttgart-based magazine Connect. They instead require users to pay for comprehensive protection for their electronic mailbox.
Free mail services are also poorly suited for mobile users, the magazine writes. Users must pay around 5 euros (6.7 dollars) to perform address synchronization for their cell phone or PDA while on the go, or to be informed of new messages by SMS. Those looking to store large files should also be aware that the storage space is also not unlimited.
