I have been wanting to change my email address, for everything, and because I am going to do this, I want to be able to use thunderbird. (I never used outlook express, always used web based) So, are there any great free pop3 email providers out there? Or should I just use yahoo email, and a program like YPoPs! or MrPostman? Thanks

edit.. btw I am guessing this thread should go here, not really sure where else it would go :smile:

Gmail is one (it didn't have POP access to start with, but it does now). If you want an invite, let me know!
 
Cool, sure I would like an invite please.
 
I want Gmail too :smile:
