I have discovered yandex.com which has web based email (very fast and simple) , it also has yandex.disk a cloud storage solution with 11GB of storage for free. yandex.disk is like Onedrive or Google drive to use.

yandex.disk also comes with a desktop client or smartphone app, there is even one for my Lubuntu linux.

Overall this is a wonderful free service. yandex.com is also a search engine and has other parts like maps etc.

Highly recommend by me.

Only one problem so far, when I sent myself an email, yandex to outlook.com, the email was put in spam by outlook. Just typical MS I suppose.
