- Using the Internet computers at the public library to job search so no email address? Only have email at the office, so you can't list it on your resume? Why not sign up for one of these free web-based email accounts? These services offer personal email accounts at no cost. You access your mail and send out new messages by logging into their web site from any computer with a connection to the Internet and a web browser.

Each is a little different in what it offers and how it operates, so you will need to see what's up with each.
