Pop3 Email Account

Anyone know a decent (and cheap) pop3 email provider I can use when I change ISP?

I'm wanting to get something that I can send and receive using Outlook or Thunderbird and I don't need to change every year or two if I change ISP, and get something a bit more personal than me@isp.com would be good!

  • Hi,

    I use https://www.beeb.net for my POP3, its free and very reliable, and I don't use them as an ISP

    You sign up as if you were using their payg service, but then only utilise the email service.

    Nothing special with the address, ie xx@beeb.net

    Merry Xmas

    Thanks for that. I take it you're able to use them for incoming (pop3) and outgoing (smtp) email?

    Cheers

  • Hi,

    Yep, smtp and pop3.

    .....and if you use the web mail, there is no advertising!
  • Alternatively, you could look here.

    PostAccessLite has HTTP, POP3 and IMAP access, virus- and spam-filtering. The address you get is a bit unwieldy though...

    I use boltblue, free & highly recommended recently in a newspaper review.

    However to really do what you want, I'd suggest registering your own domain, & using email forwarding, you'll never have to change email address's again, you can have as many as you like, & who you use for pop3 is irrelevant.

    https://www.ukreg.com have a good service
