Stay WELL clear of useless Yahoo's free email. The idiots insist that
you visit their webmail site regularly, despite providing POP / IMAP
access. If you don't visit the webmail site "often enough", they simply
cancel your account with absolutely no warning.  X-(

I use the GMX free email for one of my accounts. No problems with that
via Eudora and POP access ... although the website was all in German
when I signed up, but there is now an English version at http://gmx.com
.
