I just need a free email address, preferably with POP3 which works

You may have already found a solution, but I'm using a free account at
GMX with Thunderbird over POP3. I imagine IMAP works too, but I haven't
tried it. IME providers try to get you to use webmail, but T-bird works.
You can also set up an account at unfriendly_provider.com and have it
forward messages to somewhere else that lets you use Tbird. That's what
I do with gmail.
Excellent suggestion. Thanks. This is the first suggestion which
actually worked. Agreed that most of these vendors want you to use their
app or get your mail on their website.
Your unfriendly_provider.com suggestion fails. I can't ping the URL or
whois it. It's either a misspell or they've gone away.
