For about a tenner a year I have my own domain, which does email forwarding to wherever I want. Mine happens to be firstname@firstnamelastname.com (e.g. perky@perkypenguin.com) which is easily memorable for people, and doesn't ever change to my contacts if I change providers - I simply redirect mail to wherever I want it (can be done on the fly, so you can move it temporarily if you need to). It also gives me a limitless amount of email accounts @perkypenguin.com if I need to be someone else for some reason (e.g. getting an introductory offer from a shopping site, although sometimes they recognise your credit card too).
I also have a small amount of web space but I don't use that.
