There are seven anti-spam tools to auto-protect from junk mails. We can optimize this protection by setting up individual blacklists. All incoming and outgoing emails (including their attachment) are scanned for viruses using the antivirus engine. But Spam filters are not up to Gmail.

Shortmail.com

This is an interesting email service to look into it, here emails are restricted to 500 characters. Messages are always short and to the point. There are no attachments, no junk mail, no folder management. Just communication – with any email user, anywhere. You can get get Shortmail on your iphone, Android, or in your favourite email app. Connect using IMAP, POP3, SMTP, or use their web interface.  It’s fun to try and suitable for mobile.

 iCloud Mail

icloud mail is developed by Apple inc, which is very simple email client with few essential features to keep our mailing experience cool and simple.  icloud doesn’t  come with any extra features that could make your mailing experience beautiful. iCloud served with a colossal storage, IMAP and a dynamic web application.

I feel Apple should put some extra effort to make it more powerful and  to satisfy the apple users with rich experience.
