Guide Review - Zapak Mail - Free Email Service
Zapak Mail lets you read and send mail, and you can store it in folders, too. The spam filter caught the junk mail's majority in my tests, but unfortunately a good deal of good mail as well. Possibly, using the "Not a Spam" and "Mark As Spam" buttons improves accuracy.
In one of Zapak Mail's interfaces — there are several catering to different browsers and needs — you can assign simple stationery to emails you compose. You cannot, however, save templates yourself. Zapak Mail also does not help much with organizing mail: you'll be looking for labels, flags, threads and search folders in vain, and simple email search did not turn up any results for me.
If you prefer a desktop email program — such as Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird — to a web interface, Zapak Mail offers simple POP access. The more flexible IMAP is not available, though.
