OT Recommend a free email account?

[ms]

W98SE, DUN, Firefox
I use Fastmail, an excellent free webmail account for "meaningful" email.

I also had a POP account with Softhome for casual emails, but that is
ending. It's really necessary to have a separate garbage mail account,
as they tend to accumulate spam.

Any recommendations for another free account, preferable POP, webmail is
OK, viewable with Javascript disabled.

Advice?

TIA

StarLine.ee - http://starline.ee/est/email/reg/
I've been here for many, many years and always reliabe - pop access.

ISPs with dial-up access have free email accounts you can pop access from
anywhere on any connection and or use the webmail.
I've had a f9/force9 accounts/addresses for at least 5-6 years:

Hope this helps

http://www.laszlomail.com. is pretty slick.
www.shinyfeet.com has unlimited storage
www.nerdshack.com (if you must have POP)
Check out www.emaildiscussions.com for lots of recommendations.

Thanks, but GMail is a little more complex than I need.

Where is free dialup on this site? Everything seems to be fee-based.

Just put your username where it says @starline.ee and in the areas nr. the
bottom when you type the password it'll show astricks.
The rest just put what you want - I don't understand estonian either!
pop via mail.starline.ee - your username and password

Where is free dialup on this site? Everything seems to be fee-based.

You sign-up for the 1pm dial-up access (free) but, you don't use it (dial-
up) you just sign up for the account to get your email addresses and login
info ...etc

Kind regards

Have you used nerdshack? It seems OK.

I registered with it, but then see nothing that tells me my username, or
a site to check my mail?

Well this advice isn't for a free e-mail service as I thing gmail is
the best of the bunch. Have a look at www.spamgourmet.com. You can
generate throwaway e-mail addresses on the fly. I use it for all the
site that require you to register and such. I generally give them a
maximum of 3 messages and then poof no more e-mail.

HIGHLY recommended to all.

I see lots of this- you have a temp address, it forwards all mail to
your real address, so your real address does not generate spam, but it
still gets all the spam mail the temp address attracts.

You can always use www.mail2web.com to check your nerdshack account it
doesn't have webmail.

Thanks, except there was never a screen that told me my username after I
registered.

Use this form to create your free e-mail account. Your new e-mail
account will become your username at both nerdshack.com and
mailshack.com. Your usename must be unique, and may only contain
letters and numbers

You had to supply a username when you signed up.

Mike, you don't use spamgourmet as a proxy for your ordinary mail. You
use it to limit getting emails from "signup" pages. If you have a
limit of three emails to a spamgourmet address then you will only get
three emails. You make a new address for a different site.

You can still use your "normal" address for people you trust.

If you want a different, semi permanent, address to route your emails
through then you can do that as well. But not with spamgourmet. Once
the proxy address starts being used for spam you delete the name. Then
you get no more mail via the compromised address.

Regards, John.

Yes, but that's only part of what's needed, complete is "(e-mail address removed)"

don't know if they use .com, .net, will have to work with it. They are
different, every other server I've seen always presents you with your
new (complete) username after registration.

Thanks, John. You defined what I really need, that permanent webmail
address is hard to find, I have Fastmail, very good, will see if they
accept a second account. My concern is when I go back on Ebay, that
generates lots of spam, particularly clueless people that use default
OE, never know how to make it secure.

Hi Mike,

I wasn't talking about a webmail address. I was talking about an email
POP address.

You can use a webmail address BUT don't give it to anyone !!!!!

Use a proxy address to forward emails to it. If the proxy address gets
compromised then discard it and get a new one. Still keeping your
webmail account untouched.

Regards, John.
