Where to begin...? That's the main question when answering this!

Let's start with Hotmail.

There's Hotmail, sponsored by MSN. You can get an account there for free, but it doesn't have nearly as much space as a Gmail account. Their available domain names are @live.com, @hotmail.com, and @msn.com.

Next up is Yahoo mail, sponsored by who else but Yahoo!? They're also free, and their domain name is @yahoo.com. I'm not sure how much space one of these accounts has.

There's also your local cable company's email. Domain names will differ, however, they seem to be very much MSN-like.

You also have America Online. Their popularity and name has gone down quite a bit in recent years, and not many people know much about them anymore. If I remember correctly, their domain is @aol.com.

And of course, you already seem to know about Gmail. They have nearly unlimited storage (I've had my account since 2005 and I STILL haven't filled up all the space!) and personalizable domain names. I prefer Gmail mainly because the interface is sleek, there is a lot of storage, and it is made by Google (a very trustworthy company).

That's a little bit of the basics. There is a very nice article on about.com giving a bit better of a review than I can.
