Where can I get a free email account (not gmail or yahoo)?

Are there any places that are smaller? My desired username is not available at gmail or yahoo. I’m looking to create an email address, ebay account, bank account and paypal account for my hobby business so it will be easier to keep its finances straight, and to protect my household bank account from paypal issues. I could come up with something ekse, but the likelihood of anything short and memorable being available is slim.

I did google this query but then I didn’t know if those resources were trustworthy so I decided to ask my tech savvy friends here.
