Good, free email service needed
« on: April 22, 2004, 02:36:26 PM »
Can anyone recommend anything?

My usual service closed some time during easter, leaving me email-less (I had all my important mailboxes there)  :-(
I need a service that has both pop3 and webmail and doesn't flood me with "in-house" spam.
Also, it's probably best if it doesn't require me to use a specific smtp server (Thunderbird can only use one in total), as I found out when I signed up for an address at softhome.net and they banned me after sending one test email.. :-|

TIA,
Blom

--Edit--
Also, a service that doesn't intend to go out of business or go 'subscribers only' any time soon is preferable :)

Hmm....I've heard the name postmaster.co.uk a few times the last weeks. You might want to give that a shot. Other than that....:shrug:.

If you're willing to part with a few EUR you might want to give dds.nl a shot. Dunno if they also do international customers though.

-edit-
Gah...nevermind...postmaster is webmail only crap.

re: tmicha
Looks cool, i might check that out

re: yahoo
I don't think the free version comes with pop3 access, doesn't look like it according to this anyway
