I'm looking for a webmail provider, that will collect mail from
multiple email addresses (including yahoo and hotmail), provides
bayesian spam filters, and doesn't require me to sign in through HTTPS
pages (as I can't sign into these on my work PC).

Even better if it provided personalised homepage with favourite
newsgroups / sports team news etc collated for me.

Do you want only a free email service or will you accept for-pay email services?

I don't mind paying a reasonable subscription for the service, if it
is reliable, and carries all the features in the question (POP
multiple accounts for me, inc yahoo and hotmail, offer login without
having to use HTTPS pages, and bayesian (or better) spam filters).

I currently pay $30 pa for a Spamcop mailbox which does all this -
although the spam filtering isn't as powerfull / intelligent as I
expected.  So I'm looking for something to upgrade to...

Hope you can help.

I'm not sure if these have all the features you want.www.fastmail.fm
www.bluebottle.com you may have to pay for POP access.A good place to
ask this would be www.emailaddresses.com they have a free discussion
forum with a lot of knowledgable types.

Thanks mister1-ga, both services looked good, unfortunately it seems
impossible to set up an account with fastmail (unless they have a
major problem today) - as they don't send out the authenticating url.

Bluebottle looks like a great idea, although the initial few weeks
would be intensive trying to remember and whitelist all my
distribution list mails i receive - I'm also wary of setting up a free
account with unknown company, as I don't want to have to go through
the setup phase again in a months time if they pull the plug?.

Anybody go any more suggestions?.
