It's not so much the email service as it is the email client. For
Windows, I have found Thunderbird to be the easiest to use. If you get a
gmail account, Thunderbird will configure itself for your account. Yu
should just have to give it your gmail account name and password. If you
are transitioning from Outlook Express to Thunderbird, you may struglle
a little at first. But I found that transition easier than switching to
either Outlook or Windows Live Mail.

Now that Outlook Express is gone, my favorite mail client is probably
the Mac Mail app.  But obviously, you have to have a Mac to use that.

You can also use the gmail and yahoo mail web apps in IE.
