Use it for all your important email and anytime you need proof your email was read.

Miscellaneous email services - Some services that are useful but do not fit into above categories.

OneHopMail http://www.bluefingers.com/ohmhtml/ohm_send.html This service is very cool. Let's say you are on road and need to send an email message. You want it to appear as if you sent it from your home email but cannot access (or don't want to for some reason) your email account. Use HopMail to enter your email address and a message. The service will send a test message to your email account. If message makes it okay, it will send your message on it's way, as if it came from you.
