My current email is getting filled up with too much junk mail, so I'm gonna need a new clean email address. There isn't really a specific one I want just one I can open in entourage or os x mail. Any ideas on which one I should choose?

yes, which is why I recommended it over say Yahoo.

Yep, just gotta set up POP forwarding.

Another vote for Gmail, by the way.

GMail works with Mail or Entourage, but you can only connect via POP and not IMAP.

Fastmail.fm provides IMAP, but it hasn't been that reliable and I rarely use the account I have with them.

Basically, I think that to get a decent e-mail account, you have to pay for it.

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!
