Yahoo Mail
Yahoo provides a free email service. POP3 and forwarding, however, are premium services requiring an annual fee.

Mail.com Email Service
Mail.com will provide you with a free email address. They used to provide free forwarding but now it is considered a premium service with an annual fee. You can read and send email using their web interface, but they seem to have a lot of pop-up windows with ads.

MyRealBox Free Email
The folks at Novell provide the MyRealBox service as a testbed for their Novell NetMail email product. There are occasional service interruptions, but in our experience, it has been an excellent service. One of the best features is that you can use POP3 to download your email.

GMail
GMail, a new email service by Google, is pretty impressive and is available free. In order to sign up, though, you either need to have a cell phone or to be referred by an existing customer. GMail limits the number of referrals, so not just any customer can refer you. They provide a generous 2600 MB of space and allow you to use POP3 and SMTP. Their spam filter works well, keeping out most of the spam.
