Get a gmail or yahoo mail account and use that for all your mail.
Better yet get more than one account. One for friends only and one or
more for commercial stuff - like Ebay.
You will then be able to use your browser for all email.
Such an account will allow you to keep the same email address(s) as you
move about.
