"FREE stand alone e-mail account that has good security"
Something I should have pointed out in my first reply
"good security" and "e-mail" is almost an oxymoron.
"good security" and "free e-mail" IS an oxymoron
Web mail accounts can, and do, get hacked. If you want security, you need end-to-end encryption, but thats another story (which others here are better able to advise on than me)
