   I tend to use mail services that are free and have very little controls   
   over them, but I do occasionally run into some bigger providers blocking   
   exhange from those places claiming there is too much Spam being sent   
   from them.. but so far I've been lucky enough that they will unblock   
   me if I answer that eMail, with a warning not to do that, not that I   
   did it in the first place. They just block everyone using that service.   
      
   I do have a gMail account, mainly because it's required to keep my   
   Phone and Tablet updated, but I rarely go there. Anything that goes   
   there for me I have automatically forwarded to my other accounts.
