Computer based email addresses??

Hello Major Geeks,

I don't quite now where to put this question, so I'll give it a go here!

Until 3/4 years ago I used Virgin.net pay as you go and have several virgin.net addresses, which I am rather fond of, and have had since I first got a computer several years ago. Since then, I've been through NTL and Bulldog Broadband and now Talk Talk, and still managed to keep my virgin net addresses. I would have gone with Virgin for broadband, but they weren't competitive enough.

Virgin.net have now told me that they will no longer go on providing my addresses unless I use their broadband service, which I don't wish to do.

I've got a yahoo address as well, but I really like having computer based email, and particularly like Seamonkey, which unlike Outlook Express means I don't have to keep switching identities all the time.

Is there such a thing as a computer based multi-email address provider that doesn't insist you use their ISP. Free, hopefully. Or is that too much to ask?

Thanks,
Linda

 

seamonkey is the old mozilla suite. It uses both firefox and thunderbird in an "all in one" application. Which is one of the reasons that FF 2 removed the email icon, cause it (FF2.0) is a standalone app.

Anyway, thunderbird....err seamonkey's email client should work just fine with the gmail pop3 protocol.


Or, you could ask me for an invite, via PM.
