    Gmail is very good and free. heres a guide http://www.marthas-web.com/gmail.htm
    Edit...dont use hotmail. They will charge you for the privilage of forwarding your emails. Yahoo can be set up too..http://www.scrippy.com/help/mail/yahoooe.htm
    but gmail has a better service. more storage, less spam etc

    so i set it to pop on gmail settings and in outlook and incomming as 465 and outgoing as 995 instead of 993 as stated on that site

    well its working and its so much better than opening and logging into account
