Hi Rich,

For free accounts, I don't mind recommending gmx.com. I've been using
them for years, and am quite pleased with the POP/SMTP service (also
have web based interface as part of the service). Accounts have never
been "hijacked" in any way.

Getting one's own domain name, and using it to host an email account
is another good option (I do this as well; my "willkayakforfood.net"
account, hosted by GoDaddy). This has become quite an easy and
affordable option, with the bonus of personally chosen custom
naming/options).

No need for Hotmail, MSN, Yahoo, Google (gmail), etc. (all represent
annoying--at the very least--privacy concerns as well).

Just so there's some paddling content in this post...

I'll be out for a long afternoon/evening paddle shortly. :)
