Let's get a list of good, free POP mail alternatives going (cheaper ones also)

(Dear Mr. or Mrs. Threadcrapper: Yes, this is a hot deal, if you use Yahoo POP mail. It means you've gotta find some alternative quick, and change every account or anything you ever registered with a yahoo mail address.)



<< Hello,

Important service announcement regarding your POP3 or Mail Forwarding service. Please read on.


Effective April 24, 2002, Yahoo! Mail will no longer provide free POP3 Access or Auto Mail Forwarding to Yahoo! Delivers subscribers.

Use Outlook, Eudora, or another POP3 client to access and manage your Yahoo! Mail.
Automatically forward your Yahoo! Mail to another email account -- even another Yahoo! address!

Send email without the Yahoo! promotional text at the bottom.*

Sign up today and SAVE 33%

Nice try, but no cigar.

argh. any one know any good alternatives?

Yahoo was great because I could check it on the web (school, work, wherever), then connect to it via pop3 and archive it everyonce in a while.
 
I would be willing to pay if it still didnt have that @yahoo.com part. Who provides low-cost POP3 and web access with a professional sounding domain?

What kind of crap does yahoo think they're pulling here. Is anyone really willing to pay for something that
was once free? I haven't received that email yet, but I'm sure I will.
