O.T. Free email services

I know this is way off topic but I thought
I would ask the question here since you guys
would know the answer.

At present I have Outlook as my private email
service and Yahoo for everything else but
recently Yahoo is now asking me to agree to
their new terms which states it's now under
Oath along with other companies which is all
under Verizon.

However I'm not happy about their terms of
agreement which basically says you give up
everything and they can use everything however
they want.

I'm wondering if any of you know of a good
reliable service I can use in place of Yahoo?
All I want is a simple email service. Also, I
don't have a cell phone in case they need to
be activated.

Thanks,
Robert
