Mail? Its part of YOUR ISP's responsibility to provide a mail server.
Yes, but your email address will likely be chosen for you, and will change each time you change ISP. Changing your email address is exactly what you *don't* want to do when, for example, you move house. There's also the issue of going on the road. > But mail servers > are part of an ISP's job description, so use them. You have already paid > for them when you pay your monthly bill. I only use my ISP sending from home, and never for receiving mail. Cheers, David.
