Well, my main email provider and the one I use for 'official' stuff, mailandnews.com, is shutting down. Can anyone recommend a free provider that has a lot of storage space? Mailandnews had 10 megs, which was damn handy. So far, the best replacement I've found is beer.com, with 5 megs...

Freedom2surf.net has 10 but they go down like a cheerleader.

My Yahoo account has 6 MB. I got it years ago; I don't know if newer accounts are any different.

Ok, so apparently it's now 4 MB. Maybe I got grandfathered in, or something.

You can get an account at eurosport with 20 MB...free too...

If it moves, kill it...

Oh crap. I'm in the same boat, because I also use a mailandnews.com address. It's the one I normally use in webforms and also use with this site, because I use its advanced filtering capabilities to screen out spam. While I do have several other email addresses, I will still need to replace my mailandnews address, because it is the one I intentionally use for spam trapping. What I liked about this address was its advanced filtering capability, its 10 megabytes of space, and its POP3 access. Does anyone know of a free email provider with those features?

Anyway, in case NeoVid isn't looking for exactly the same thing as I am, let me point out some good sources of email addresses. If you've graduated from college or graduate school, you may be able to get a free alumnus address that should be good for your whole lifetime. Another possibility is to get an address based on your name, either by registering your own last name, as I have done with mine, or by renting an address from whoever has already registered your last name. Either option is good for a good, permanent address, though the second option costs some money.

Well, I've tried Eurosport, but theirs doesn't work for me, since it requires opening new browser windows, which these extremely low-quality library computers won't let me do. Freedom2surf looks like it'd work... if it would let me join.

So far, looks like Beer.com is the best one...

I keep meaning to get off my butt and get a web server up and running. I think I'm gonna do it, but I'm going to wait until after we move. Then I need to pick up a new PC and I can turn my current desktop into the server. Then I'd give all you bitches email accounts, and maybe even web space to boot.

I need to get it up soon, though, so I have somewhere to put the kiddie porn.

It's not free, but I've been using www.netidentity.com for my mail, as I used to change ISPs a lot.

I began replacing my mailandnews.com address with a few more specialized addresses today. I'm now using a bigfoot.com address with this site, and it forwards mail to a zzn.com account I read with Eudora. Both accounts do serious spam filtering, making it a good address for letting appear in mailto links. I created a separate zzn.com account for subscriptions to ezines. This one is set to filter out every address except the ones I'm expecting ezines from.

Hey, if Gabe does make a domain, what'd it be called? Felchmonkey.com? Imhavingan.org? Raaar.net?
