Hello,

I'm looking for companies which provide outsourcing e-mail services
for portals which can provide free and fee based services to end
users.

I would like to provide limited free web mail with the possible
upgrade to more features and mailbox size expansions at a charge.

They should be capable of making the look and feel of the interface
close to the portal and be reliable.

Spam protection optional features would be wonderful.

Thank you.

Hello lizardnation-ga,

Thank you for your question. It is always nice to see a question from
you :)

Out of the many services available on net, I was able to get hold of
only one free service. This service is available for a month for free
and after the trial period, they start charging. Webmail through Mail
Hungary is available for all companies and organizational units as
tailor-made services.

They provide a free month trial for 20 users. You can test their
services and once the trial period is over, they will contact you.

123mail.net has all the features you are looking for. It customizes
the interface to look like the portal. It also supports Spam filter. 
It gives both POP3 and web based options along with IMAP4 setup. They
are not free. They charge $24/year but this is for an individual. I
tried to search for a corporate price, but was not available. You can
contact them via phone on this number: 1-877-436-2457 or email to
webmaster@123mail.net. Click on the following link to get more details
about this service.

http://www.freeservers.com ) they used to be totally free, their
charge structure has changed now.
