An Alternate email adress anyone? Not Gmail.

Hey guys,

Since I don't want to use Gmail anymore, just to get away from all the google product and the footprints that it might leave.
I'd like to know if any of you are using any other alternate Email provider that is highly secured like Gmail and will be stable for the long term with a quite big Inbox space..

Thanks guys!

well, my first ever email account is with yahoo, gmail doesn't even existed at that time (yahoo mail: since 1997, gmail: since 2004), then i signed up with gmail as well and i'm using them simultaneously now

idk how much free space comes with the free plan of yahoo tho, but i still don't run out of it, it should be more than enough

OR

http://gmx.com

i use AOL, and they are pretty good, but here is a few more free email service with good capacity-
bigstring.com- 2gb
gawab.com- 10gb
inbox.com- 5gb
and of course hotmail and yahoo
