There are some paid options around, but once again, Gmail takes the prize for a robust free service.
If you dont already have an email account with Gmail, you will need to set one up before you start. Leave a comment on this post and I will get an invite to you within a day or so.


Once you have your account set up, enable pop mail in the gmail account settings online (log into www.gmail.com) simply enter these settings into any mail client, and use as your default smtp server for all accounts.
This assumes retaining your original email address:
Incoming Mail (POP3) Server – requires SSL: your.isps.pop3.server.com
Use SSL: No
Port: 110
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server – requires TLS: smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)
Use Authentication: Yes
Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)
Port: 465 or 587
Account Name: your Gmail username (including ‘@gmail.com’)
Email Address: your original isp address (username@isp.c0m)
Password: your Gmail password

You can make this setup your default account, and it will always be used. You regular ISP mail will come in as per normal, and all outgoing mail will be routed through the Gmail smtp server, regardless of the connection you are on.
You may wish to set the “reply-to” address to your ISP email address too.
Be sure to test sending, recieving and replying to make sure all your mail goes where you want it to!!
Happy Gmailing!
