New EMail Account

I have tried to register with 18866 for their telephone service but cannot get the registration accepted because I have an AOL EMail account.

What would everyone recommend for a second EMail account? I am a Windows 98 user and would prefer a webmail account. Also are there any sign up ofers via RPoints or other referral sites?

Thanks

    You want a Gmail account I think PM me with your name and email and I can send you an invite.

    GMail is fine if you accept the privacy implications.

    See this link for more info.

    Note that some people (and presumably organisations) are refusing to send email TO a GMail address, as their own emails are then subject to Google's storage and analysis methods.

    The link above also gives further links to four free 1GB webmail services which do not monitor the content of your mailbox.
