Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Say goodbye to Yahoo! Mail tagline advertisements
Once upon a time, signing up for a free email account meant bombarding everyone you ever sent a message to with in-message advertisements. But those days are long gone. Or at least a few days gone. Yahoo! has removed the tagline advertisements that had been automatically appended to any message sent from a free email account.
We haven't done an extensive survey of free webmail providers, but we believe this means you can send ad-free messages with Yahoo! Mail and Gmail, while AOL and Windows Live Hotmail still tacks a message to the bottom of each email. If you know of any other ad-free, or ad-saturated services, let us know in the comments.

Zenbe (www.zenbe.com), which you profiled some time ago, is ad-free.

Oh this is fantastic. I hate sending off a semi important email with confidential details for it to say "Yahoo! For a better inbox! blah blah blah". It looked terribly tacky, although I guess that's what I get for being cheap.

You don't get the ads at the bottom of a Hotmail message if you use the Windows Live Mail client. Or you could go for the I'm Initiative, and get a more friendlier message saying how you're helping a cause by using Hotmail.

It appears that AOL's webmail no longer appends an advertising tagline either. Or at least that was the case when I just tested it now...
