[OT] I need Email

Thanks for the info Geo, core.com may be exactly what I'm looking for. At any rate, going there taught me a new term for the day: "Personal email account". There are plenty of companies like this. I will shop around a bit.

I use Juno for free Email.

They do a good job of filtering.
They only want you to see their sponsors ads.

Juno's free Internet connection is terrible for SEIV Play By WEB.
They bounced me. They claimed I used too much bandwidth.
They choked my service with so many ads and ad downloads that it would take about ten minutes of connection time before I got to the turn upload page. Then if my connection did not get bounced by this time, I could finally upload my turn.
So it took up to 20 minutes to do turn upload that should have taken about 2 minutes.

Then they bounced me and tried to sell me their premium service.

I use Access4Free for internet access now.

this is what I did after ATT Broadband switched to Comcast, I was tired of switching evey few years my main E-mail addy, so I went here www.ASPwebServer.com started up my own domain, I think I spent $50 for 2 years, I get 5 ot 10 e-maill accounts for that, more than I will ever use. You can access it via the web or POP3. Now I have 1 e-mail that as long as I kep the web pages, I wont have to change it, though I still use my Hotmail for those times I think it might be sold.

Take a look at this, lots of people around here are using it of late.

the email im using right now - www.graffiti.net . almost 100% spam proof (about 4 spams for the past year-and-a-half). they're starting to charge money for full service tho, but still you get 1mb of completely spam free mail.
My $.02

You can get a free pop3 account with www.softhome.net - it has a few restrictions buyt the fact that it's pop3 should get past your firewall problems.

It's a while since I've been there but I believe www.f*ckmicrosoft.com (be creative with the asterisk) do some free accounts of some kind.

Personally i use www.eudoramail.com - I find it meets my needs pretty well.

I am myself using Gawab from now, 15 mb available and no spam in your inbox. (No pop3 access though, so I will keep my yahoo.fr email as long as this service is provided) Of course, my broswer is protected by an anti pop-up and an AdBlock, so I don't really mind the ads on the webmail.
