I am locked out of LJ

Apparently there's a problem between LJ and my ISP, and my email notifications from LJ aren't getting through to my email inbox, so LJ has decided that I can't post on LJ anymore.

Neither my ISP nor LJ is willing/able to do anything about it, so apparently the only choices I have are changing my ISP of over ten years, or giving up LJ. Or I suppose I could go through the rigmarole of setting up a web-based email account and remembering to check it, but I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DO THAT.

Anyway, I can't even post on LJ to say why I've dropped off the face of the earth.

So if anybody asks, please tell them.

And if anyone has an idea of how to force LJ and iinet to play nice together, I'd appreciate it.

I'm leaving this as cross-posting on LJ just to see what happens. What I suspect will happen is a failed cross-posting, but hey...

ETA: Yes, I got a failed cross-posting.

So.

In the interest of me being able to use LJ again, can someone recommend a non-google product where I might be able to get a web-based email address which will allow me to forward my messages to my PC-based email client?

Gmail (or any Google product) is not an option after the Blogger fiasco less than a year ago. I don't want the address pulled out from under me with little warning because I haven't upgraded my browser yet from the latest XP version of IE the way Blogger was. I'm working on the OS upgrade as fast as kk1raven can get Thunderbird to do what I need it to do, but in the meantime...

Help?
