Sorry to hear of your troubles with MSN. You may want to give GMail a try. 
I find it a little more flexible than an ISP provided email service, in 
that you won't have to get a new email address if you change ISP's and 
GMail gives you WAY more storage than most ISPs. Plus you have the 
flexability to use Webmail, POP3 or IMAP. I personally use IMAP so that I 
can access my mail with actuall mail clients (Alpine in my case) in 
various locations without having to use the webmail interface (which I 
hate).
