Ive had no problems with geek.com, plus you get an email @geek.com, whoohoo anyway, their web mail client allows you to check up to 5 pop accounts too, which is cool (and handy when in weird places and unable to simply telnet). There was rumblings about having to pay to keep your account months ago, but my rarely-accessed 3 year old account's still there, and working.
Just been there and tried to sign in. I got the following message:

oh. well, that explains why mine's still working i guess.

MyRealBox.com is free, it offers IMAP and POP3, as well as webmail, and outgoing (using either Authorise SMTP or check-before-send). It's Novell's test server for their NetMail product. You can check another 3 POP accounts, and you can also use NetMail's 'User Proxy' through webmail, which means you can have multiple myrealbox.com accounts and you only have to login once to view all the account's mail.

Don't Freeserve still do pop3 email accounts? I assumed loads of people still did but I haven't tried to sign up for one recently. Joe

Yes, they're call "No Strings" or something similar I think. I have one as I used FreeServe Unlimited (the unmetered service) for a while. However you can sign up for just the No Strings if you want. As you say most ISPs have a 'free' (call charges only) 0845 dial-up service which provides POP3. However some of them only allow you to collect your mail when your connected via their dial-up. FreeServe No Strings is OK, you don't have to dial up to keep the account alive but every 90 days or so (I think it is) you have to go to the web site to 'retrieve' the POP3 account. No need ever to dial up on 0845 though. -- Chris Green (chris@areti.co.uk)
