Should I?

I am thinking about settiing up a site where user can sign up for e-mail accounts. Like hotmail and gmail do. Is this a good idea? as some people have said there is no point but i would like other views.

Thanks

what email address will you be offering? It needs to be catchy if you want people to stick with it.

my professional oppinion in the market. it doesnt have a point. after a while you see no income and you shutdown because you make loss or your family is the only one who signed up and never uses it

If you can offer a service only of re-directing the messages to the people's email, I believe would be nice, and the only mainly cost you would have would be paying the domain.

You would need a domain that EVERYBODY wants. Mail.com (ugh I hate) offers multiple domains to choose from. Free.

No, I wouldn't recommend it.

Depends on how much money you plan to invest. It would work if you add additional features.
