While other actors of in the field of free webmails are offering continuous improvements in terms of features and user experience, Orange has not updated its webmail service since 2012 and pushes users of its free webmail service to choose one of the large available webmail provider in the name of Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo!. EE has announced that it wanted to focus on providing its customers with the best possible products and services.
