How to Get a Free E-mail Account
Free e-mail is typically Web-based. It usually doesn't have as many features as Internet service provider (ISP) or work-based e-mail, since you have to use a Web interface most of the time, but you can access it anywhere.

Tips & Warnings
If you travel a lot or often use other people's computers, a Web-based e-mail service will probably be best for you.
Some free e-mail services operate by inundating you with advertising e-mail messages from their sponsors; others make you view ads on the screen.

Now you can get GMail for free with your mobile phone. GMail has a lot of great features, and you can set it up with Outlook (Windows) or Mail (Mac OS X). Very easy to set up. -

Fastmail lets you know what time the e-mail arrived, plus more importantly, now lets you know if someone has attempted to open your mailbox while you were gone. -
