I'm a recent arrival to "a base" in Afghanistan. The good news: we have internet here. The bad: my the ISP here doesn't work very well with my email provider. I use juno.com, and it works just fine in the States. Here, it took me an hour to read my email yesterday, and I managed to send one message today (and I'm not sure it went through). I just loads super super slow or not at all. Other web sites (like this one) work just fine. Juno didn't work very well when I was in Iraq either, but this is worse.

Anyone have any suggestions for a cheap (preferably free) web-based mail I could use to communicate with the folks back home during my deployment?
