Free POP3 or IMAP Email Mailboxes

MyRealBox MyRealBox is run by Novell. It provides you with 10MB of space for your mail, which you can access through a web interface or via POP3 (with SSL). They also have a secure login. There are no advertisements, but since MyRealBox is actually Novell's test bed for their email software, you are actually their guinea pig. This is generally fine except that there are occasional (long) periods when you can't access your mail or their site; this occurs when they're installing a new version to test it or to debug a new feature. GMX Free POP3 MailBox GMX provides you with a free POP3 mailbox to receive your mail. You have to retrieve your mail using an email client that can handle POP3. They will send you advertisements in your mailbox from time to time to defray their costs. You can also access your email via a web interface. Note that their site is in German - so unless you know German, you will have a hard time navigating their interface. Hotpop Free POP3 MailBox Hotpop provides you with a free POP3 mailbox (10MB of space), free SMTP access, mail forwarding, server-side spam filtering, a variety of domains to choose from, in exchange for your agreement to receive their advertisements in that POP mail box. Your message is limited to 500KB in size (so no large attachments can be used), and you are allowed to receive up to 1,000 messages and to send up to 500 messages a month. Free Email Forwarding Bigfoot Bigfoot allows you to choose an email address like yourname@bigfoot.com which it will redirect to an email address of your choosing. Unfortunately they have scaled their free services down substantially so that they only allow you to receive a limit of 25 email messages a day. You are required to sign up to receive their advertisements by email.
