There are also plenty of open source desktop IMAP clients; I personally strongly prefer clients like mutt or sylpheed over webmail interfaces. with ssh, I can even look at my mail from anywhere.

That's assuming you can get access to PuTTY and/or ssh from anywhere. :-P

I use a laptop with a EVDO modem; totally worth the $70/month to not have to trust whatever virus-infested windows box I happen to be near when I am out of the house.
