Hi again!
You know, most ISP suck one way or the other. I suggest that
you get an account from a public site and ask them to forward your
e-mail there (they shouldn't have trouble with that, actually they
will love that you aren't using up their harddrive space).
I.e. Yahoo! Mail can accept enough e-mails, then you can download from
POP (that's what I'm doing), they have a small quota but it doesn't
matter if you are downloading locally your e-mail on a regular basis.
I think Hotmail also allows that.
Nothing beats having e-mail locally, especiall for mail lists, it's
great to do searches.
