There is always yandex, if you aren't afraid of a Russian company.
https://mail.yandex.com https://mail.yandex.com
You can also set up a personal domain there for free, if you can read/translate Russian instructions at http://pdd.yandex.ru http://pdd.yandex.ru
Their web client for mail is localized into English.
Pros:
* Not google; yandex have rather good reputation here, and like google, they are tech company, with good engineering team
* A nice web-interface for mail (for my use case it's comparable to google's)
* Supports RSS feeds via mail interface
* Like google, there are interesting services: calendar, maps, search, translations, etc.
Cons:
* Basically, yandex is Russian google in terms of business (89% of their revenue is ads); however, they don't do hardware and don't have a facebook/plus-like social network
* Russian-based, so potentially a kgbfsb threat (never heard of any kgbfsb incidents, though)
* Some/most services are not localized for English speakers
- kapranoff 13y agoI am from Yandex Mail team. We've been having an influx of users for our mail for domains product because it is free compared to what Google provides now. We also have an importer from Gmail that works via IMAP. BTW, there's an XMPP service too but I don't think we have English docs for that.
