Email notification

[skorps]

I'm on Orange in the UK and as most Orange users know they offer a free SMS notification to all UK customers when an email is recieved.

I used to forward a copy of my gmail to Orange and it would send me a rather handy text when a new email was waiting for me to read, free of Charge!

However I'm not a huge fan of Gmail so I switched to both Hotmail and Yahoo. I was gutted to find Hotmail has no forwarding options and Yahoo only forwards the original and not the copy of an email.

I don't want to use the Orange account as my primary account as it is basically S**T! I just wanted it to be used as a notification method.

I currently have the Yahoo settings on my email client and that is fine, but I want to be notified rather than check manually.

Does anyone know of an email provider that either offers free sms notification, or alternatively has over 2gb of email space and offers copy forwarding (besides gmail!).

Cheers!!!!
