Even with all of the NSA snooping that's been in the news, webmail is still very popular.
So which one(s) do you like to use the most?

Haven't heard of that one, but I gotta check it out now. Thanks for the tip.
EDIT: LOL...I thought the name sounded familiar, but it threw me when I heard it in the context of email. :D

I have an email from just about every provider, each with its own purpose. So pretty equally, I check my gmail the most though having a Google phone.
Part of it went on gambling, and part of it went on women. The rest I spent foolishly.

I have a brother that still uses Juno, and another brother that still uses AOL.
I originally used AOL. Now I use my web host as my mail host. In addition to some excellent anti-spam software, I am allowed an unlimited number of forwarding addresses.
I have close to 200 email addresses that get forwarded to my real address. Whenever some new company asks for an email, I create a new address using the company name @ my domain, and set it up so that any mail sent to it is automatically approved to pass thru the anti-spam filter. Then if I get spam, I look at the addressee and know who sold my name - and remove that email address so I don't get additional spam.
Since some people are responding with the email software they are using, I use Apple's Mail program that came with my MacBook and iPhone.

Not that anyone cares, but I was using Gmail before it was available to the public. I opened the account on April 21, 2004. It was really buggy: it didn't recognize apostrophes and other punctuation symbols in the subject field.
But Gmail had 1gb of free storage which was unheard of in 2004. Yahoo was offering free email with 25mb, and that wasn't enough for me so I was paying Yahoo $20/year for the privelige of having 250mb.
Since I was a founding user, I have a clean and simple Gmail address, which makes it easy for my friends and acquaintences to remember. (Hint: it's a flavor of ice cream.) But the downside is that I get tons of spam because my address is so simple. For $10,000 I wouldn't mind selling my simple address to Haagen-Dazs or Ben & Jerry's, if anyone on this forum has any connections...

Yes, I received an invitation from an eBay employee who had friends working at Google. My eBay friend realized these early accounts had a monetary value so he started charging $25 after I joined.

From the question and some of the replies, I wasn't completely certain whether you were asking which email service we preferred or which application we used to access it. Here are both:
I have my own internet domain and use a hosting service that manages the technical part of that. I receive my email at several addresses at that domain.
I have some Android devices, so naturally I also have a gmail account. Mail sent to me at gmail is forwarded to one of the addresses at my domain. I probably have other email addresses that I don't remember or perhaps never knew about. I am aware of a couple of mail forwarding services (such as at alumni associations) that provide addresses for email and then transfer the mail to me.
As for the software to access the email, I currently am using Apple's "Mail" on my Mac, though I have tried several others in the past. On my phone, I receive email with the "Email" program that came on it. It's not very clear just whose software that is.

I joined at a very similar time, a friend of mine some how got an account...not quite sure, but I think it was through private torrenting sites. It definitely was buggy at the beginning, but the storage was so worth it.
