I think you'll like this,
If you visit Jeeves and Yahoo, there is another search engine (not as high Profile as these ) but is also owned by Jeeves called Myway
http://home.myway.com/
As you'll see the front page is in the Yahoo style without Ads or Banners! (You can customise it a bit)
There is an email box of 6MB capacity(And can grab mail from your other email boxes (Bit risky ) Ok for a reserve address?
Best feature I do like is the Search engine selection. Only 4 available, but it does have an image search. Default is Google but you can switch engines by clicking on the tabs in the results window. The other engines are Yahoo,Askjeeves and the Looksmart directory
Here is more info on the features:
