I found this new service that offers the usual free web based e-mail that's a dime a dozen now, but the twist is they give you points for using their service, and the points are redeemable for ff miles.

The service is called Birdmail and can be found at http://www.birdmail.com . It doesn't look like you can earn the points that fast, though they do promise more ways to earn in the future.

Also, you get referral bonuses of 10% of the points anyone you refer earns ... so if you do signup and are feeling generous, tell them [email protected] referred you (there's a place to put the "beckley" part in at the bottom of the sign-up form).
