Webmail?

[Bob Jonkman]

I recommend buying your own domain (davidpelly.ca is available!) then
use your ISP's webmail to send and receive all your mail as
me at davidpelly.ca  If you ever switch service providers you just switch
your domain name to point to the new ISP and you *still* use
me at davidpelly.ca for all your e-mail. 

I like Register For Less https://register4less.com/ as a domain name
provider. Tech support is excellent, they'll have no trouble pointing
your domain name mail record to your ISP's mail system.  But depending
on the ISP, you may or may not be able to use your own domain name (so
find a mail-friendly ISP first). Also, most independent ISPs can get you
a domain name (eg. Execulink in the KW area), and they'll have no
problem using your domain name for mail.  Don't know how good their Web
mail is, tho.
