I am not able to register my desired ID in either Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, but my prefered ID is available in Mail.com. Is mail.com good enough for having a permanent e-mail ID, does it have any drawbacks ? Any mail.com ID owners here ??

I only require regular e-mail service, POP3 is not a matter, but is it reliable ?

Well it seems reliable. I am having that account for last 2 years. But, I don't like it's web interface. Too many ads. And worst thing is ads coming in between 2 mails and also before closing the mailbox.
So, I never really liked it and don't use it much. But, yes all my mails there are lying fine

I also noticed the annoying popups, but as they are totally being blocked by opera I don't have to bother about them. Thanks for replying, I am going with it :smile:

it is not just the popups. You wait on a dialup for the after login screen for over 4 minutes since it has a huge ad graphic and all the page says is , 'this session is sponsored by blah.. blah.'. You click on the ignore link and it goes to the inbox contents. It is the same story when you open a mail, close a mail, delete a mail. That is the picture. There is no problem with content though. It even gives you a helpful games tab at the top.

NO! You should not opt for anything other than GMail or Yahoo! Just try some different combinations or think of something else altogether. Not getting the preferred eMail ID is not a matter of life and death, after all!
