Perhaps this is a bit off-topic, but I admire the email savy of those who 
contribute to this list and I'm hoping you might have related experience 
with my question.

Until now I've been using Yahoo for email so that I don't have to go 
through the pain of changing email addresses when I change to a different 
ISP (which, for me, has happened too many times).  I picked Yahoo because 
they have been offering free POP3 access.  But now that seems to have 
changed -- they want $20 a year for POP3 access.

I'm on a really tight budget and would prefer to have free POP3 access to 
webmail (who wouldn't).  So my first inclination is to ask if anyone here 
knows of another free webmail service that offers POP3 access.

My other option is to dig deep and cough up the $20 per year.  In that case 
I'm wondering if Yahoo is really the way to go?  Are there other paid 
webmail services out there that are solid, just specialize in email, have 
POP3 support, and are in the $20 a year range?

Any recommendations / opinions are appreciated.

Thanks,
Bill

(PS: As you can see below, I'm tinkering with Opera's new M2 email client.  
Prior to that it was Sylpheed all the way; and I've continued to monitor 
this list.  I like some of M2's concepts, especially how it automatically 
organizes messages, but some of its awkwardness is becoming frustrating.  
Looks like I'll be moving back to Sylpheed.)
