Don't Freeserve still do pop3 email accounts? I assumed loads of people still did but I haven't tried to sign up for one recently.
Yes, they're call "No Strings" or something similar I think. I have one as I used FreeServe Unlimited (the unmetered service) for a while. However you can sign up for just the No Strings if you want.
As you say most ISPs have a 'free' (call charges only) 0845 dial-up service which provides POP3. However some of them only allow you to collect your mail when your connected via their dial-up.
FreeServe No Strings is OK, you don't have to dial up to keep the account alive but every 90 days or so (I think it is) you have to go to the web site to 'retrieve' the POP3 account. No need ever to dial up on 0845 though.
