Well everything I mentioned is available from UKFSN (as well as UKPOST.COM 
- my other ISP) which is subscription free so only phone call charges are 
relevant.

If you need free as in FRIACO/Surftime then I am sure someone else on the 
list will know who offers better email facilities. The key is to have 
either unlimited email aliases (ie [anything]@username.isp.net) or a 
number of separate POP3 accounts. Either way will do the job so long as 
you are using a decent mail platform on the client end to separate the 
mail into distinct mailboxes locally.
