Does anyone know of a good reliable free email server that provides both web access and POP3/SMTP? They key word is reliable. I used to use Yahoo, but they don't provide POP3 access for free anymore. I've tried a couple other free ones, but they have been less than reliable. (Problems connecting to the server, lost messages, etc....) Thanks.

You know you want to write a POP3 proxy, in perl of course (easy text handling), that grabs your mail from Yahoo and pipes it to you via POP3. You so want to. [Smile]

I dont really know anythign about computers and don't really know what you guys are talking about but I have an email address that automatically sends my emails to my cell phone address. That way I get an alert on my cellular telephone every time I get a new email. Which is about once every six weeks or so.

Great! I'll forward my spam to you after buying stock in your cell provider. Hopefully they charge you per message.
