"I have one e-mail account that my ISP provided me with but it's full of so much junk that I just stopped using it. Could you recommend a place where I can get a new e-mail account (address)?  "

Oh yeah, the never ending problem with spam. I don't blame you for refusing to use your current e-mail account, to tell you the truth I also stopped using the e-mail account that my ISP provided me with, my ISP says that they are doing their best to fight spam but for some reason it doesn't seem to be working.

Anyway, you might want to try asking your ISP to provide you with a new e-mail account for instance, AOL offers it's subscribers with up to 5 e-mail accounts. If you don't want to deal with your ISP then you can still get a new e-mail account somewhere else, there are lots of places on the web that offer free e-mail accounts, here are some suggestions.

• Email.com
  Email.com offers free private e-mail accounts with Web browser based e-mail access.

• USA.net
  This is a fast and reliable e-mail service that provides its subscribers with lots of features.

• Rocketmail.com (now owned by Yahoo!)
  A free e-mail service that is fast and reliable.

• Hotmail.com
  Hotmail has been around for quite a while now, it has a lot of features and it's fast.

There are probably hundreds if not thousands of companies that offer free e-mail accounts (services) on the net, the ones mentioned above are among the most popular and reliable ones.

Also, remember that signing up for a new e-mail account with these companies or any company for a matter of fact, involves providing personal information.
