Gmail works great for me.
Plus with a Gmail account, you can publish a googlepages web site. 100 MB
for free. Currently I'm finding that quite useful. Seems that publishing to
my .mac site is not working well. These days it's quicker to publish to
googlepages. Plus it was easier to get a URL I liked.

i.e. :

tubaneil.googlepages.com


Just my .02!


Neil.
