yahoo and mail.com now chrage $30 a month for forwarding.  Hotmail
doesn't even offer forwardingm, it seems.
Is there any free email services with free email forwarding left?

Hello,

The Free Email Address Directory has a page that lists services that
provide mail forwarding
(http://www.emailaddresses.com/email_forward.htm). Of them, all but
three are limited to certain groups of people or are free only for a
trial period.

An exception is HotPOP (www.hotpop.com) claims to offer
advertising-supported e-mail accounts with forwarding to up to three
addresses. Users are limited to 10MB of space and 500KB for individual
messages.

A second service that claims to offer free e-mail addresses with
forwarding is Bigfoot (www.bigfoot.com). Basic users are limited to 25
forwarded messages (http://www.bigfoot.com/RUN?FN=tools&locale=en&dyn=NoRef:1557&Cook=&SEQ=&ver=2.0.0)

Finally, the directory lists something called Urusei Yatsura Mail
(www.uymail.com). Unfortunately, that Web page does not tell you much
about what it is before you can sign up.

Another directory, internetemaillist.com, also has a list of e-mail
services with forwarding
(http://www.internetemaillist.com/Forwarding/).

One supposedly free service is myEzmail.com. However, like uymail, the
site does not tell you much about itself before directing you to the
signup area.

I also found www.MyRealBox.com, another free e-mail service with
forwarding. It has no advertising but does experience some down times.

I hope one of the services listed above works for you.

thanks!

If you can read German and don't mind a newsletter every week, you can
use GMX -- http://www.gmx.de/ . They offer both webmail and
forwarding. I've used them for years. (You can also use a couple of
other domains such as gmx.net or gmx.co.uk if you don't want a gmx.de
address.)

As the owner of EmailAddresses.com, the site referenced in the answer,
I wanted to just step in and mention that this kind of question can
also receive an answer (if one is to be found) very quickly via the
Forums at http://www.emailaddresses.com/forum/

There have been 56,000+ posts so far on the topic of email services
(main but not exclusive focus is on free services) and generally if
there's a solution to be found people get an answer to their questions
in 1-2 days.

If you own or can afford to register a domain name (as little as $8 a
year) then the following guide may help you:
