ZipLip - Onebox used to be my favorite free email service, but since they became a subscription service and were bought by another company I stopped using them. I started using ZipLip however I can no longer recommend Ziplip because of the frequent downtime for "maintenance" and multiple strange problems I've experienced using their service plus they lowered the amount of storage space they offer. The only things ZipLip has going for it is that there is no advertising and they have an encryption option.
