I recently had this exact question. I finally decided on Pawnmail (https://pawnmail.com/). It's free and you get 2 GB.

I was worried whether it'd randomly shut down, so I emailed the creator, http://pastebin.com/raw/eWG8RQqk, and it looks like it'll be safe for a while.

I have no idea whether using services like these is a good idea.

"Pawnmail currently has enough funds to support 221 more days of hosting." It seems to be a free project (getting money from donations) run by a single person. No, thanks :)
my worry with that wouldn't really be if it runs out of money, but what's the backend like? any redundancy/etc? Is it running out of an old Sparc 20 in a basement in Memphis?
