Freeola email addresses

[Coldicote]

I have used Freeola's free email domains which work fine - when they work! Unfortunately their service network frequently has problems as can be seen here:-

I'm reluctant to make changes unnecessarily, but does anyone know of another free source? I do have a regular domain and address with another service provider but it can occasionally be useful to have one or two separate email addresses.

Glad to see that Freeola's email server problem has been corrected and can only hope it will last!

I'm assuming that you're currently only looking for an alternative email address, rather than for domain names.

I prefer to use an email service which allows POP3 access (via an email client, such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird or Windows Mail) as well as web-based access.

Most free services don't offer POP3 access. Of those that do, Google's own GMail is by far the most well known:
http://mail.google.com/mail/
but some people don't like GMail because of privacy concerns:

I use Gawab which provides just what I want, with no advertising. See my first post here for details of how to create an account (including how to set up Outlook Express, or similar, to work with it):
