Okay, today, hotmail left me dangling, internal error on the server. Typically **soft, but what are you gonna do, eh?
Okay, so, what if I get my own server online (seriously) and provide for my own web-based mail, just for me and some others? What could be the roadmap here? Any tips are welcome...
0.) if domain == "" then Get a domain
1.) Get a system installed
2.) Install a mail server
3.) Configure the mail server for your domain
4.) Install a webmail like squirel-mail or roundcube
5.) Live happily ever after
You sure know about PTR RR's in conjunction with mailing...
@ zhjim - thanks, got up to point 3, the hint to something like roundcube, that was helpful
@ konsolebox - thanks for the zoho tip! maybe not directly for what I had in mind initially but I'd like to look into that.
The thing is I'd like to avoid having an account blocked because of "activity"...I use accounta like that (hotmail, gmail yahoo, the free stuff) to experiment with. Of course, that means...weird activity; Something the "legal dept" of these guys is alergic for...
@ pixellany - got me with my pants down, man , the hotmail is a left over from the days my (former) boss wanted me to become an mcse (shudder at the thought) so, I stuck to it. But...there's a GMail account and a Yahoo account as well...and, soon maybe a thor-account

It's OK---I used to be an AOL user--back in the days when Steve Case answered e-mail personally (yes, I'm old... )
I also have fond memories of Earthlink and PPPOE...
Ohh, those were the days. And, yes, I'm that old too. I used to do ftp via Gopher. You'd send the thing a mail, it would reply, you'd modify the reply by checking what you needed (the reply was a menu) and send it back to navigate folders on an ftp server and issue a GET command (or something to the like) and got the thing mailed back...oooo, where is my Gopher now...
Hehehe
