pop3 email service provider

Hi all, I am looking for an email service provider which offers pop3 to download email to a local machine. Mcmedia no longer providing this since they were bought by Bendigo telco I would also like this to be a constant email address that does not change every time I need to change ISP's. Privacy is also something of an issue and there seems to be some question on this issue with Gmail which I believe does allow the use of pop3. Lindsay BTW best wishs's to all.
