Question: If I can get free e-mail why am I paying $19.95 a month for mine?

    Answer: Your $19.95 a month is paying for access to the internet. Most ISPs provide free e-mail with that connection - so you're not paying for the e-mail but rather the connection to the internet.

Question: Are there other providers of free e-mail?

    Answer: Yes, several! These work and I'm not trying to make a complete list.
