the best thing to do is get a hotmail or msn account anyway. they are pretty much one in the same and they are free. if you ever cancel your SBC you won't have to scramble trying to make sure everyone has your new e-mail address.
Best thing? I much prefer running my own mail servers for my own domain(s). In fact, I am cancelling two of my PBI circuits (don't worry PBI, I still have 11 more with you) and I won't miss a single email because of this, notify people of change of address, etc.
Hotmail, MSN, Yahoo or whatever - they all go down on occasion or are slow. When my servers go down or are slow, I usually know why and/or what it will take to fix it, plus, I can create as many accounts as I want, no footer ads on my mail unless I put it there myself, etc ... do I have to go on?
There's a lot of and big differences between best and free - and it doesn't even cost that much, if anything, to have your own mail server(s).
