Have you considered using 

www.mail.com

They will let you set up a free email account - and you can choose from a wide range of email 
addresses - I have had an account there for over five years.

The site is quite clean and so far spam has been minimal - their advertising is a PITA but it is 
not all that intrusive.

It can be accessed through almost any browser.

Go and have a  look at their site
