pobox.com's "MailStore" has outbound secure SMTP relay, IMAP and POP3 access, as well as webmail. Plus their excellent anti-spam stuff.
I've never used that, but I've been using their forwarding service since 1999. Originally to my ISP's mail account, and later to a SMTP server on my home LAN. (From which I run my own secure IMAP and webmail service.)
It's not free. I think that's a feature. I don't want to be a "product" sold to advertisers, I want to be a customer.
I am going to absolutely confirm this. I've been a pobox.com customer since the 90's sometime and the service is flawless. I initially used only the forwarding service (as does greed in the previous comment).
My setup was POBOX forward to Spamcop.net for IMAP access (this was before POBOX had IMAP and was only a forwarder). About the time spamcop screwed me with terrible support and anti-customer behaviors(*) POBOX started their Mailstore service.
I switched to the Mailstore at that time and haven't looked back in the least. The Mailstore account is $50 per year and I'll agree with the previous poster that it not being free is a feature.
If you are mainly looking for professional looking email address, you could do a cheaper Basic or Plus ($20/yr or $35/yr) account which is the forwarding service and then forward to Gmail for storage, POP/IMAP, and Webmail. I'd recommend the full boat since $50/yr isn't much and the IMAP service (I can't comment on the POP service, I don't POP) has been wonderfully accessible, stable, and "up" through my entire subscribership.
Some Extras:
Secure outbound SMTP
Support for personal domains (so you could have me@lastname.net or somesuch)
Great SPAM protection
Multiple (3 included) aliases so you could have me@pobox.com and mycompany@pobox.com as two separate addresses that both go to the same Mailstore
I'm only a satisfied customer, so I'll stop sounding like a marketing droid now:)
...and it means that just because some sicko has sexually explicit cartoons, drawings or stories involving children doesn't mean that we just toss the First and Fifth Amendments out the door.
Why not? We already tossed out the fifth amendment by thinking "what about the children?".
It seems like only one hammer is needed for you scenario.
So, what's the second hammer for? A redundant array of independent hammers? A Beowulf Cluster of hammers, perhaps?
The last time my bag was left behind, the airline made me fly back to Chicago so that my bag and I could fly together as required by the TSA overlords.
The whole bit about trying to figure out how to get your bags from "on a different flight" isn't a problem anymore. The new TSA rules state that a plane cannot takeoff with luggage on board without the luggage owner also on board. If you need or use the flexibility (I just completed a trip where I traded a 5 hour delay for a free flight) the airline will take your checked bag off the plane and re-route it to your new flight.
If there had been no Microsoft, the internet would be what USENET was back in the day: something used by geeks and scientists and not much else. You say that like it's a bad thing....
It used to be that stoic people are looked up to, but, really, using jokes to deal with September 11th?
Yes, absolutely. The Halloween after 9/11 my wife and I went to a Halloweeen party whose theme was "famous or infamous dead people". We went as the Twin Towers with a friend who went as an Arab terrorist.
Unless you actually had friends/family DIE in that - you aren't dealing with pain, you're feeling a loss of national pride and perhaps suddenly feeling a bit more vulnerable.
Wrong - very wrong. There are many more ways in which people can feel and deal with pain related to the tragedy. Anyone living in the NYC area (as I do) who saw the mushroom cloud live experienced pain that day to deal with. For a long time I knew I had friends who worked downtown and had no clue if they were alive or dead. In my specific case, everyone I knew was lucky -- and now you are going to tell me that I didn't experience pain in the unknowing? Who the fark are you to tell me that?
Amen to the don't trust them at all bit. They are more than happy to provide customer service when you are spending money to establish and account, but once they have your money forget it.
I had an account over a year ago, the real email account with storage and was having a problem with it. I emailed support, no answer. I posted in the Spamcop form and the moderator (the great and powerful Wazoo) decided that I was full of shit and my problem didn't exist. A few days later, I posted different symptoms of the problem in a new thread and the great and powerful Wazoo decided that I was reiterating the same problem (didn't even take time to read and realize that I was posting different symptoms). He then merged the threads -- essentially burying my problem report at the end of a long thread so that no one could read it without clicking through 3-4 pages of the previous post. I posted in the forum actually begging for support -- and was constantly squashed by Wazoo.
When I finally did get an answer from my email to support, the content of that email was essentially "we saw the thread in the forum and Wazoo says it's not a problem."
This was one of the worst, most pathetic customer experiences that I have ever had -- and I had previously thought Spamcop were the "good guys" and directed many different friends, relative, and clients to them -- needless to say I cancelled, a number of my friends cancelled, and they've gotten zero new business from my recommendations.
When I placed the new order, the credit card didn't have enough room left since they'd already charged it.
No, you silly bint -- they did not charge you credit card, they asked for and received a pre-authorization -- something that they must do accepting an order. Amazon.com is absolutely 0% (or less) at fault for this and if you, as a consumer, did not understand how credit cards work prior to this purchase, shame on you
Well if we quickly implement a program to find all the "can't dial 911" retards and eliminate them from the world then the probablilities of being stuck with one of them at the exact moment of heart-attack go way down.

Move twice in less than a year, one of which covers several states. Have to pay for movers (essentially by the pound). Automatic living simpler!
(2nd move starts Thursday, and even though I thought we were reduced and simple, I'm getting rid of yet more stuff)

It is the Time Share division of Marriott, and they are required to have SSN's for those customers for mortgage interest reporting purposes.

Nope, no chance of a record breaking. She was a one-and-done.
