Even better, buy a domain and redirect its mail to a gmail account. That way you're not subject to the vagaries of ISP mail restrictions and don't have to worry about changing email addresses when you change ISP.

Gmail has the useful feature that, once verified, its SMTP servers will accept mail by proxy to be sent as originating from your own address(es) too.

So, while my mail actually lives under name.surname@gmail.com, as far as everywhere else is concerned it's me@mydomain.net. Also means that by tacking on a small fee for multiple redirection with the hoster, the wife's is she@mydomain.net etc.

(I like writing things like this. Gives me an excuse to fill a post with dummy email addresses and drop gravel in the gearboxes of the harvesters.)
