Even better to use the free web service offering the POP3/SMTP access.
Here in Russia the best choice IMHO is http://www.mail.ru (or, for English
interface, goto http://eng.mail.ru). This server is physically located in Moscow
now (GMT +0300), so it might be a good choice for those who live not very far
away;-). Such systems make it possible to use their SMTP server not
depending on which dialup account (dialup of which ISP) you're using.

;-) Leif, it would be next to impossible here, in St.Petersburg;-) We've got
many ISPs here (*I* know up to 20 of them), but neither (except a *very*
expensive one) is quite reliable;-( There even exists a joke concerning
www.cityline.ru:
On the eve of the Armageddon, when the people were in church waiting for
the End of the world, the skies suddenly opened and the God's face showed.
"My belowed children", -- he started... Then, suddenly, the skies closed again.
After a short while, the God revealed himself once again. Frowning severely,
he said "%^%%^ Cityline!!!"
