Well, some good things can be free too..and one of them is https://HOTPOP.com which provides you with a free email id with a choice..
I came across it quite by chance and used it for a good five years.. and never found it unwanting.
Hotpop gives you an option to access you mail either by forwarding it to a different mail id or by using your favorite mail client..unfortunately you cannot check your mail from the browser per se but sites like https://mail2web.com solve that problem of yours in a jiffy.
Should you have unwanted mail you can get rid of them without having to download it on your computer.
I believe the latest is that the web access feature is being added to it so, ya ya to that .. the servers are fast so the mail downloads fast enough. The site gives comprehensive instructions to configure your mail client so even those, technologically challenged, it takes less than a minute.
All in all, for some one looking for a mail id with free pop3 mail id it has to be the hassel free hotpop way.
