Establish a web-based email address you can access anywhere, anytime using your favorite browser. Most services are advertisement supported and require at times an extensive disclosure of personal information. Keep in mind that your primary choice in usernames will probably be taken on the more popular email services such as Hotmail and Yahoo Mail. To avoid having to use obscure usernames, you may have to register with a smaller or newer email service such as PopMail or Postmark.
