    Gmail for me.
    I love my spell checker, it stops me making all sorts of stupid smelling mistakes. :doh:

    Gmail, Yahoo or Blueyonder (has webmail access) or Zoom (also webmail access)
    and basically check your ISP as they may have webmail access and a alias option.

    Up until a month ago I'd have sworn by Webtribe but then I suddenly found it impossible to access my email account - turns out Webtribe had deleted all trace of it!

    Very inconvenient, couldn't recommend them at all now.

    Any advice that you receive from me is worth exactly what you paid for it. Not a penny more or a penny less.
  • I too use Gmail and find it excellent.

    What I have found useful is to have a domain name where you get a range of email addresses. You can then set it up to forward your mail to any email account ie gmail.

    That way if you do change provider, you can keep the same email address

    eg myname@myname.co.uk would be set up to forward to myname@gmail.com

    GMail is OK. The major gripe I have with it is that it rejects some sorts of file attachments.
