AIM Mail

Just what you need, another e-mail address. Yeah, but the price is right, free. And like gmail, it's 2 gigabytes.

What I'm talking about is AIM Mail. Just go to http://mail.aol.com and sign in with your AIM screen name and password. Then they'll walk you through setting up an e-mail account at screenname@aim.com.

Unlike gmail, AIM Mail isn't pure POP but a combination of IMAP and POP. Here's what their help page says:

• Incoming IMAP email server address: imap.aim.com
• IMAP port number: 143
• Outgoing SMTP email server address: smtp.aim.com (requires authentication)
• SMTP port number: 587
  Alternate SMTP port number: 25

There's a "how to" here.

I haven't tried the IMAP/POP.
