    Have you tried <a href="http://www.onebox.com/"; target="_blank">OneBox</a>? Free voicemail, email and fax.

    myrealbox.com is pretty sweet. Gives you a SMTP and IMAP email service you can use from the comfort of your own email program, Outlook for me. Gives you 10MB of space.



    It's actually a service of Novell (anyone remember Novell?)

    ...maybe you'll like <a href="http://mail.yahoo.com."; target="_blank">http://mail.yahoo.com.</a>; (Besides the email, <a href="http://my.yahoo.com"; target="_blank">http://my.yahoo.com</a>; and other services comes very handy).



    As for junk email, it is very-very little compared to hotmail (with spam, I would have to say one junky for every ten emails).



    Hope you will like it.

    Sadly, Yahoo Mail will be changing soon. They plan to start charging for spam filtering and worst of all, they will soon require you to use their own SMTP servers for sending email. Many if not most ISP's require you to use their own SMTP servers which means you will no longer be able to access your Yahoo account with any email client.

    I heard that the postal office is trying to get a bill that if passed will tax emails a couple cents per email. Since email has GREATLY cut down on the amount of snail mail, the post office is losing profits quickly.

    I for one am 100% against this, there is NO good thing about it, on any given day I send 5-10 emails sometimes more, and I know ALOT of people that do likewise

    at any rate I feel really sick from eating to many chewy chips ahoy

    but I got the new cornelius album!

    so its all good

    The changes you are talking about took effect on the 15 of January. I can still view my email with Outlook and others apps.

    According to the research I did (by searching for "email tax" at google.com) the supposed email tax you mentioned is an email hoax.

    Another vote for MyRealBox. I've been using them for about 9 months now and they've been great.

    They were supposed to take place on the 15th but nothing was changed. Maybe they got too many complaints about the SMTP server issue.

    ...I forgot to mention the following:



    When I use IE to login into my email and if I run Outlook, the login session with IE experies (meaning I cannot login into my account with IE).



    The above does not happen with Netscape. I can use Outlook and access my email with Netscape at the same time. I can't with IE.
