Well, if I had the time and motivation, what I want to do is suck all mail onto my home server and export it via IMAP over SSL so I can access it from anywhere and only have 1 copy to worry about. Charter (my ISP) used to allow IMAP to it's mail server, but recently that was turned off and I'm back to POP hell where I have to delete messages multiple times since multiple machines are checking mail all the time. IMAP is superior, if you can use it or provide it to yourself then go that route.
HTH. BR
Brett, I just abandoned charter in favor of verizon dsl. I was tired of the expensive package deals, and I gave up cable entirely. I'm saving $80/month and getting better speed. I don't use their email at all -- I have an account at Westhost $8/month, so I'm not dependent on any specific connection provider. Westhost has pop3, but I don't have any difficulty with it. My only complaint is that verizon changes my IP at least once/week, but that doesn't bother me much -- I export my WAN IP to my Westhost account so I can always find my home machine from work. If I wasn't so lazy, I'd use dyndns.org. Bill
