Cheap (or Free!) POP3 mail providers?
I'm pondering changing my ISP but the one stumbling block is that I use my ISP mail address everywhere
As a pre-emptive strike, I'd like to set up a new mail identity NOT connected to any ISP - ideally POP3 but definately NOT web based
Does anyone know of a good value POP3 mail provider?
Thanks

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The most popular free email service, which has POP3 access, is Google's Gmai:

Some people don't like the way that Gmail automatically scan both outgoing and incoming mail, in order to append 'relevant'(?) advertising material:

Mt own preference is to use Gawab. If you configure it properly, you'll get a totally free service without any advertising material (either inbound or outbound) whatsoever. Full instructions for setting up POP3 access, with a Gawab account, are in paragraph 3, et seq, of my first post on this thread:

(NB: The final bit, about enabling 'server authentication' is important! If you don't follow that instruction you won't be able to use the account).
