Quoting betty <[email protected]>:
After going through at least six or seven ISPs, I can't imagine ever having email with any. Get GMail, and don't bother with Verizon unless you download it to Thunderbird or import it into GMail. If you're not in the US, get a free POP/IMAP Yahoo account and do the same.
I wouldn't bash *all* ISP email service. Verizon, Comcast, sure, but the smaller ISPs do a good job. . .at least mine does (did). I used to have Heller Information Services (HIS) until broadband *finally* came to North Beach. Now I've got Comcast for my ISP (very reliable [could be because they completely rebuilt the system when they bought out the previous cable company]) and stuck with HIS for my email. $5/month (paid by the year). They pass their mail through Postini for spam (and I think virus) filtering. No extra charge.
