Hey there, this is an off-topic post that I hope to keep rant-free. Let's all see if I succeed.
I need an email account. So PBW can send me turns, and family and friends can leave me Messages, etc. I want to have the email address as I shift from ISP to ISP. Here's what I know:
Hotmail - Sucks. I'm drowning in spam and M$ adverts.
Yahoo Mail - Was suggested by a friend, he said it was fairly spam and ad-free. I dunno though. I don't like their flash ads.
Comcast Cable - I'll be leaving Comcast Cable's service area, so that email account will soon die.
AT&T Dialup - I have this for now, I liked it before I went to cable. Damm it's slow. I may not keep it. So there's no point in spreading this email address around.
All of them refuse to work with Zone Alarm Pro firewall running and the Proxomitron. Yes, I can tweak those apps to allow the specific cookies needed, but blocking ads prevents their web-based email from working. Hotmail won't work at all, Comcast cable asks 7 times to load the Flash executable -- and I simply don't want it on
my computer.
What I need is an email service with a few polite non-animated ads or none, that sends minimal cookies, and web access is a plus but not essential. I would spend maybe 20-30 USD a month if it were ad and spam free. Any suggestions along those lines.
Any help at all, really. Thanks.
