Author Topic: Free POP3 email Ken Lackner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1907 From: Atlanta, GA, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 02-07-2004 03:12 PM                     Does anyone know of a good reliable free email server that provides both web access and POP3/SMTP? They key word is reliable. I used to use Yahoo, but they don't provide POP3 access for free anymore. I've tried a couple other free ones, but they have been less than reliable. (Problems connecting to the server, lost messages, etc....) Thanks.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

You so want to.  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 02-08-2004 01:33 AM                     I dont really know anythign about computers and don't really know what you guys are talking about but I have an email address that automatically sends my emails to my cell phone address. That way I get an alert on my cellular telephone every time I get a new email. Which is about once every six weeks or so.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

I'll forward my spam to you after buying stock in your cell provider. Hopefully they charge you per message.  |  IP: Logged Ken Lackner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1907 From: Atlanta, GA, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 02-08-2004 11:51 PM                     quote: You know you want to write a POP3 proxy, in perl of course (easy text handling), that grabs your mail from Yahoo and pipes it to you via POP3.
