I can only hope I've gotten it in the right order. Second, there's another service I've just found that offers both webmail and pop3 access. Although their POP3 seems to be down this morning it's the first time it's gone down since the service started. They also allow forwarding to another POP3 address as well as a web based address book and the ability to leave mail on their server up to 25 megs worth of space. They allow attachments of up to 12 megs as well which can be a real life saver every once in a while when a client wants to send you a bloated Word document. http://www.spymac.com Yep, that's right, the joke of the rumours community has probably the best free email service available on the net right now. They also give you 50 megs of server storage space for storing pictures to display in their online web gallery space. Not a bad deal for free.
