Question

Anyone got any suggestions?

I used to use Yahoo but then they started charging oodles of dosh to use it with Outlook Express. I'm having to use AOL at the moment but I would prefer not to if at all possible!

Can you use AngelFire etc with OE?

Clara.co.uk

Free and fast. There are hundreds of free providers out there, with PoP access.

Totalise - www.totalise.net you have a free 50mb limit, the also offer free ISP at just your local call rate to an 0845 number. Although currently POP3 isnt working due to a server upgrade, doubt it will be long though.

Cool

For christ's sake stop being so tight. Buy yourself a .org.uk domain name from Titanhosts, and get a pop account with it. Then you have a decent service, no monthly charges, and a 'proper' email address.

MarkO, logic says that if she COULD afford a domain name, she wouldn't be going to the trouble of asking about free email, don't you think?

Domain names are hardly expensive - cost the same as a round in the pub or for a meal. Plus it's pretty cool having a your own personalised address.

To you they may not be expensive, to me they are. When I have money to spare then I will get one, but at the moment they are an unnecessary luxury.

Sorry Clare, I seem to have bypassed your message! *Grovel grovel*

Thank you very much for the offer but I have managed to find one for the time being.

Domain Names are not expensive when you can get them for less than £12 a year for a .co.uk.

I have even seen companies (Although I personally use Titan as I know their service) Offering stupid price deals!

http://oneandone.co.uk for example £2.89 a year for a .co.uk domain!

And I have seen even cheaper than that!

Presumably I can have an apology now after giving you that information and then being accused of flaming you?

Yeah, I always use Titan. £10 + Vat for a .co.uk. Have just bought another one this week.

If anyone wants an email address @plasticard.co.uk let me know!

£10 for a .org.uk domain with a pop account for 2 years? Expensive? I hardly think so.

Just give up the booze or **** for a week, and there you go.
