[NTLUG:Discuss] Advice on email account

[Hank Ivy]

I am looking at changing my Internet Service Provider, ISP.  The only fly in the ointment is 
they provide my primary email account.  What advice do you have for me about two items.

1.  What independent email account provider would you recommend?
  Should I go with something like gmail?
  Should I just pay for a host presence (and IP name on the internet) and have my own email 
host?

2. Do you have any advice on how to go about changing email accounts without missing important 
emails?
