First introduced by Hotmail five years ago-a lifetime in Internet time-free e-mail is now offered by more than 300 companies. But the concept's staying power and wide adoption mean better service and more plentiful options have evolved for consumers. Unlike a lot of other no-cost offerings, free e-mail is in its second generation; the idea has already won over users and investors, and now providers are getting to the good part...
