Business Email Service

What free email service do you use, and why would you recommend it to me?

Currently, I am using AIM as my email service because it came along with my screen name. But now that I'm going into high school (I'm 14, going into 9th grade this fall) I'm going to create a more "serious" email address, and while I was at it, I was wondering which email service is the best. So please tell me what email service you use and why...but I'm guessing a lot of you use Yahoo mail... In addition, I am not going to use G-mail, so don't recommend that to me please... * 59 seconds ago * - 3 days left to answer.

Also, can anyone explain to me what IMAP and POP is, and why they are important features to email?

1. My main acct. is Yahoo. But I have a Gmail acct. also. I like Yahoo's better because the spam blocker works well.
2. Well, I have hotmail, yahoo, and gmail... Gmail is the best, but if you're not going to use that. Yahoo is best. Hotmail sucks.
