Posted by Lim on Nov 15th, 08 | Filed under Internet | 7 Comments

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.
