Are there any free Email providers that allow sending Email via your Email client thru any Internet connection?
I hate having to use web-browser-based connections when I travel :-( ...Jim Thompson

Gmail supports POP3, SMTP TLS and IMAP access. Thunderbird can use it quite happily on any connection that doesn't filter out their IMAP port and SMTP port. I see Eudora also supports IMAP so see:
Avoid POP3 access as it is a pain keeping more than one PC or a single PC + webmail in sync.
Worst case, you can still fall back to their webmail if behind a restrictive firewall! ;-)

inbox.com provides a webmail interface, and also supports POP3/SMTP access, so you should be able to use any reasonably modern email client.

I use Windows Live Mail (successor to Vista's "windows Mail"). I'm running under XP so this is the older version. Vista and Win7 run an updated version. My Verizon account only does POP3 and WLM allows an option to keep messages on the server. Optionally messages can be deleted from server when they are deleted locally.
Gmail is running as IMAP and hotmail as http: mail. No complaints
Haven't had any issues connecting to servers when traveling. Gmail uses non-standard ports that never seem to be blocked. Verizon uses port 587 for outgoing and default input port. I'm now in Vermont and couldn't send mail from the Vz account till I realized the outgoing port was at default. Once changed, sent just fine.
