Buy a domain name at <a href="http://1and1.com" target="_blank">1and1.com</a> and pay for their email only service.<br>
It's about $ 15 / year if I recall. Then, you mail can come to your<br>
own domain. It's a good idea (in my opinion) to pay something for<br>
such service. In terms of customer service and maintenance, you get<br>
what you pay for. $ 1.25 / month doesn't get you much in that<br>
regard, but with millions of customers, they have more funds to<br>
manage the data center and provide some help to needy customers. Try<br>
to get some help from gmail for a problem. Also, having your own<br>
domain name lends more credibility, which may be useful in some<br>
cases. The domain name costs about $ 8 / year.<br>

Everyone, just remember:<br>
<br>
* If your mail hosting is outsourced, the Government can read it<br>
without a warrant after 180 days.<br>
<br>
* If your email hosting is in-house, on your own equipment, the<br>
government must always obtain a warrant to read messages stored on<br>
the system.<br>
<br>
If you want to ensure that your messages cannot be read without a<br>
warrant and therefore mandatory service upon yourself or your business,<br>
you should ensure that (a) you use an email service that purges all<br>
messages no later than 180 days after receipt, or (b) host the mail<br>
yourself, in-house.<br>
