The problem is they often change it. So there are (free) codes out there,
but none reliable for a longer period of time.

I'd say: simple hosting plus POP3 and/or IMAP is available for as low as 1
euro (and I'd suspect a dollar) a month. A far better deal and very simple
to deal with programmatically should the need arise. It just doesn't pay
to keep tweaking the scripts every time something changes.
