Unfortunately, free email services WITHOUT piles of ads are almost impossible to find (and those that also let you POP email ARE impossible to find). I found that registering my own domain name (and getting the free POP/web email access that comes with it) a LOT easier at the end of the day (besides it's only like $25USD a year or something). My domain raybot.net is registered through NameZero (www.namezero.com) and more recently I've been pretty happy with them (they did go through a rough patch a bit over a year ago where I came darn close to pulling out though). This way I can have one email address for every service and by default they all get routed to the same email address (ie. I can check a single email address to get the emails from all the others whilst still retaining their full headers and 'to' fields). Then I just filter on the email client. Plus the webmail service is nice when I'm at work (and last I looked it was useable through the Lynx/Links text browsers which is nice on the odd occasion I've only got terminal access and can't configure pine). Certainly I've found the cost well worth it. - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
