I'm using two different sites right now, one is www.rock.com, which gives you a free @rock.com address, filters spam pretty good, and I don't receive a lot of junk.

My other one, which I use on forums and such is found at www.myownemail.com and has a wide assortment of domain names. Mine for instance is megashawn@for-president.com. There are many others to choose from, pretty decent storage space, also filters spam out pretty good.

you can use altavista.com for example, if you want an e-mail account just search for free e-mail account in a search engine :)

Fastmail is what I'm using right now. I've used Hotmail, Mail and Yahoo as well as other free providers but Fastmail is easily the best.

My inbox has been spam free ever since I've signed up (except for 1 message). It's free, and like the URL says, it is extremely fast. You can also choose different looks, there are support great support forums too.
