What about gmail? It satisfies every requeriment in that list (except
for the loggin), plus it has web interfase and puts mails suspected as
spam in a spam folder wich don't get downloaded by pop3 until you mark
them as not-spam.
IMO it's spam filter is pretty good, I never had any of mplayer lists
mails marked as spam.
