What i do is run my own mail server. It sounds like you have DSL and if you have a static IP (you should) then you can run your own mail server. Just buy whatever domain you want, get a nameserver (you can run 1 of them) and your off. The only problem could arise is if your internet connection is not so reliable. But its the best way to go if you can, you have full control, and its as secure as you can make it.
This is excellent, being that so many people rely on Microsoft Office applications, and cant use anything else. Being that these applications well probably never be ported to Linux (unless Microsoft gets broken up, possibly) its great that now they can be run under Wine. However I seriously question the stability, my experience with Wine has always been never do anything that can really hurt me if the application crashes. Still, this is wonderful progress.
