www.fastmail.fm if you can still get them.
www.truth.com you have to access every 90 days, but so far pretty spam free.
www.softhome.net I think you have to agree to receive some spam which you
can opt out of later.
Also check this link http://www.emailaddresses.com/
Forget about hotmail, yahoo, lycos, etc. Spammy

Another free e-mail provider guide. Can search for providers that meets
criteria you set (such as no provider brand appended).

And it lacks POP access unless you pay for it. Big deficit.

You really should look at http://www.myrealbox.com as well.
Run by Novell. 10MB free and full POP access.
Have not had ONE spam (over 1 year now) in 3 accounts our family use.

I used to recommend (and still use) myrealbox.com, BUT lately
they seem to be down pretty frequently. Not, like for days at
a time, but enough to be aggravating. Yes, they're upfront
about their web/POP mail being a beta and a demo. Been that way
for the couple of years I've been using them. I accept that, so
I'm not pissed off with them -- but it just seems the downtime
has been noticeably increasing, lately. Also, while their web
interface for doing mail is good - tweakable and nice and crisp
(having no advertising helps) - it's kind of annoying that when
you reply, what you're replying to doesn't get quoted. I don't
usually do webmail anyway, but that's a drawback if you *do* plan
on using it as webmail, very much.

You can have free POP access at the following Yahoo sites.
http://au.yahoo.com/
http://uk.yahoo.com/
http://ca.yahoo.com/
They have a proviso, you have to agree to accept occasional advertising
literature, (at least once a week) they provide boxes for you to tick
the categories that interest you. If you don't tick *any* boxes you will
seldom receive anything.
It's worth trying.

It's ultimately - on the server end - http access.
Don't need it, because -- read the second paragraph, there. I use
fetchyahoo. It's a script that pulls down my mail from yahoo by
using Y's web interface. It puts the mail it finds in my local spool
and I pull it into my mail client there. (My email client does not
have trouble with this.) When I used Windows, I used ePrompter for
handling the no-longer-poppable Yahoo free accounts.

Tried it, it's too clunky. Downloads everything into Inbox, downloads
everything from Inbox, every time, even if you already have it,
couldn't send mail, it was slow. Logging onto yahoo doesn't seem so
bad any more...

Depends how many Yahoo accounts you have. I suspect you only have one.
I use a program that's similar (in that it gets Yahoo mail via the web
interface), and have it set to automatically run a couple times a week,
in the background, pulling down the contents of six different boxes,
and deleting from the Yahoo inbox whatever mail it's downloaded.
