mail2web enables you to read your emails from anywhere (well, not 20.000
leagues under the sea, obviously, but ...)

You could do worse than Google Mail ( GMail) and it works very well

Hotmail fine for me, no problems with text size or access.
Freeserve now Orange may still allow new accounts.
I also have Netscape now AOL webmail.
Then there is Gmail, works ok.
If you don't want webmail you get a free mail account
if you have a Tesco card. xyz@tesco.net.
There is one I haven't used from my ISP, think it's webmail.

Orange has very good spamfiltering, think they use
junkmailfilter.com.
For me some of these are historic, from the early days
of Freeserve, some are visible to the outside world,
so get several hundred junk mails a day, I only get to
see 1 or 2 of the junk messages using filtering.
A couple of the addresses are only known to family
and friends and get no junk.
One is used for eBay and gets no junk.

There's no such thing.

Install SquirrelMail on your linux webserver and do it yourself? its
what I do....

It isn't free, but generally speaking one get what one pays for.

Isn't there? How do you define reasonable?

There are several very good independant ISPs who provide very reliable
email and domain registration services - but they all come at a cost and
if you or the OP aren't prepared to meet that cost, then all I can say
is that you get what you pay for.

But how can you measure reliability? Server uptime?

Here's one of my servers:

09:02:42 up 842 days, 20:05, 1 user, load average: 0.08, 0.02, 0.01

But does this mean it's been avalable all this time? Well, no. In that
time there have been upgrades of the apache software, squirrelmail, the
routers that the server sits behind, which have rendered it unavalable
for a few mnutes at a time - all planned with punters notified in advance
though - then there's the network that feeds the data centre the servers
are in... This has suffered outages, again mostly planned (but there's
not much you can do when a UPS catches fire) and if you were curently
in the mid-east, and suffering from the current spate of broken cables,
where would you say the reliability lies?

For the OP; If you're prepared to pay a bit more, then you can have a good
service from a smaller independant UK company (if that's your thing),
who will register your domain name and host your email for you. Have a
look at www.gradwell.com or www.hostroute.co.uk and use google.

And if you're still stuck, send me an email, but although it's something
my business does, it's not my main line of business, so I'm going to be
more expensive than the others.

Well given that Hotmail stopped working and "not much happened" -
perhaps it is worth trying to find out what is wrong with your system
rather than hoping the problem will disappear.

The original post had me giggling tho - the OP's problem seems to be
more that they can't configure outhouse to work with pretty much
anything. I considered suggesting thunderbird but realised that this
wold be too technical.

As a Brit I'd like to thank the Americans for their help in the war
against terror because if they'd not funded the IRA for 30 years, we
wouldn't know how to deal with terrorists.

due to waiting for the server hosting the file it was trying to get
being slow to respond.

Why the fuck that moron said there's no such thing as a reliable
webmail service, I'll never know. Hotmail, Yahoo and Google have never
let me down and all do domain hosting.
