In.com is a free email service from India. It provides @in.com email address, 10GB storage and user-friendly AJAX interface.

After you login to your Inbox, you will found that In.com has a very similar interface with Yahoo Mail. Both of them are using AJAX, and they will open new mail/item at a new tab.
The most interesting feature from In.com is they provide the shortest email address. It makes your email address easy to remember by others. In.com has built-in antivirus scanner and spam filter. But unfortunately, it doesn’t support SMTP and POP3. So, you can only use their web interface to access your inbox.
Although Gmail and Yahoo Mail provide more features, but you may try In.com if you want to have a short email address.
