I think we can say without hesitation that in the entire history of
the Internet, there has never been a POP3 account anywhere that was
problem free for it's lifetime.

Try the Novell systems' free remote pop3 accounts:
http://www.myrealbox.com/
http://www.digitalme.com/
Signup for an account for each of those. Sub a few lists to each and
then see how it goes.

Yes. You must realize that free accounts are never going to be that
dependable. Never. Even the best ones go bad after a period of
time. That is why the members of this list collect so many. You
cannot depend on using just one.
If you want the closest thing to dependability, you pay for it.
You say you know HTML? Good. Then you know that HTML belongs on the
web and not in e-mail. I would suggest you contract for domain web
hosting services that offer you email accounts such as pop3 and
forwarding accounts as extras. Those are generally the the most
dependable type of email accounts. Then your email will have YOUR
chosen name as the domain and you can use your HTML skills to design
a great web site under your own domain.
I have many, many pop3 accounts, Donna, including two from ISPs with
which I contract. The best, most dependable of them all in the past
year has been my pop3 servers at ashlists.org . My pop3 accounts
come as part of my web hosting package.
