Yup, anybody probably can get a free account at one of the numerous web-
based systems existing. Some of them offer a free SMTP/POP3 also (I use 
www.mail.ru, for example). Some of them even offer a free IMAP4 (sorry, 
don't remember the URL; anyhow, it's a system located in Russia, and the 
user should typically select a system physically close to his own location).
