Email options?

[Tris]

I currently run with 2 email accounts, 1 a Yahoo spam box, 1 an account on my ISP (Embarq). What would be a decent third choice? Yahoo tends to get auto-filtered into the trashcan, but has its uses (universal access, great to give for non-business stuff, etc.). Embarq has been laying eggs lately, and their email has been "iffy." So, what would be a decent third option, that is less likely to wind up in the trashcan than Yahoo, but wouldn't be expensive?
