Just Graduated...bye bye email... need to find a good free one

[fluxxcapacitor]

Does UMD not give out alumni addresses? I know several schools (including my own) that give out addresses such as yourname@post.yourschool.edu or yourname@alumni.yourschool.edu; maybe you should double-check.

any of these free email sites accepted by AT? I know hotmail anf Yahoo! aren't.

Umm isn't this the topic of my entire thread?

Yes, but I found out that it is just email forwarding...which means i'd still have to find an server

I'm looking at hushmail, netscape, and hotmail right now.

Any other ideas?

Opinions are very welcome.

Dave are you sure as alumn you don't get a permanent email with telnet access to it's server? Check it out. I have a calpoly.edu I've used since 91'

Yes, sorry. I didn't want to start my own thread, but I'm also in need. At least it's a bump, is it not?

try burntmail.com. free - 10 mbs, spam protection, pop3 support,
and e-mail forwarding . . . and the page has a gun in the logo

Thanks, syzygy, for showing me the way. I signed up and it does work pretty fast. But I couldn't figure out how to make it support the POP3 protocol. pop.burntmail.com doesn't work. Well, at least it has a good forwarding feature. And it's free, still. I wonder how long before they start to charge. Dang, I need more e-mail adresses!

I was just referring to the fact that you re asked the same question. Thanks for the bump

edit: Carbonyl, I even emailed the sys admin...It's just forwarding. Pretty sucky IMO
