My only quibble so far, and it's a big one, is they need to provide translations for their sign-up page, but I'm guessing they really don't care about the non-Russian speaking audience. They provide cool themes for the inbox (see below)

Once you get to the inbox, you can click the flag icon in the lower right hand corner and change it to the UK flag for English, or hell, just leave it on the Russian flag if you want to learn Russian !

Hi Agent Mike !

I'm sure I already have an FBI dossier since I've been to Moscow.

Happy free emailing for your junk emails and signups.

The service is quite good, the user interface (once you turn on the English language version) is comparable to other major providers, and they have some of their own nice bells and whistles in the archiving/display settings.

There are a couple of things I'd do differently (like leaving items selected after a modification, as I commonly do more than one operation at a time, like "Mark read" and "store in folder," etc.) but overall I find it VERY usable.

appreciatively,
Bright
