A .Mac account would sure take care of this.  The IMAP mail has been a  
lifesaver for me at times and it's not one that goes away if I switch  
ISP's.  LIke now, I have AT&T (bellsouth) and Comcast.  But .Mac is  
always there and the family pack is really great.  Visit the website  
and look into it.  I'm not going to try to sell it to you here.
