Yes, that is no typo. 1 terabyte free. Of course, I am not being paid for this and I am not affiliated with the email service. Go to the URL for more details and to sign up:

4. I'd sign up, but if someone told me their email addy

was so and so @ mailnation.net, I'd probably think they were coming on to me. :shrug:

6. Interesting, but...

the days of truly free stuff are pretty well gone, so what's their angle? They have to have some kind of income, so what are they selling? No idea from looking thorough their site.

If they're not selling anything, how long will this be around? Free email and fax sites have come and gone, leaving us high and dry and email-less for years.

They are Canuckian, so not subject to our homeland insecurity nonsense and presumably free from FBI intrusion, but are they really secure from our, or Canadian, prying eyes?

7. One terabyte, eh? Can I send a 1-terabyte e-mail then?

Just HOW MANY terabytes do they have...?!

How many RAID 5 arrays do they need? :rofl:

11. Wow. One terabyte?

You'd have to receive one hell of a lot of mail to fill that up. There must be some sort of catch that makes it not so free.

12. I think you have to put up with the ads.

I have a 12GB hard drive and havent filled that up yet. Why would anyone need a 1TB of storage.
