GMail does or will offer POP3. There are freeware at
<http://www.betanews.com>www.betanews.com that will allow you to check
GMail via pop3.
Thank you,

On this we agree. I've been using local email since the eighties -
starting with UNIX at AT&T. If I can POP Gmail I'll give that a try. I
would set up another account on my web server, but in a matter of weeks
the spammers would be sending me all that stuff about enhancing my
performance, or helping some poor African diplomat who was cheated out of
his inheritance. I can tell you, this stuff doesn't work, and I really
think the diplomat's daughter was lying about something. I never did get
my share of the 1.5 million dollars. I won't even get into enhancement
products, or lonely housewives.

I like it better than Yahoo or Hotmail. You can set it to delete on
exit... somewhere. But you know how I feel about webmail anyway, so if I'm
likin' Gmail, it must be okay... for something.. :)

Thanks, but...
I have a Gmail account. I just set it up a few days ago. Do you like it?
It appears that they save everything.

Hal,
I'll send you an invite to GMail... it's pretty good as far as webmail
goes, lots of features, etc.
Drop me an email and let me know what address you want me to send it to. I
think you'll be happy with it.

Subject: [CTS] free web mail account
Hello Everyone,
I am so tired of spam that I moved to a webmail account to post to lists.
Even though I use Linux and have good filtering, I still have to look at
this nasty sh** everyday, just in case I get something legit.
The Problem:
First, I don't like web mail, but this is better than screwing up my
domain account, or my real email account.
Right now I'm using Myway, and its not terrible, but doesn't handle HTML
very well. Personally, I don't like HTML formated email, but most people
are using it, so, when in Rome...
Could I get some recomendations for a free web mail account that I could
check out? Yahoo, Gmail, and Myway, I don't like, although I might
consider Gmail later. Postmark is good, but way slow.
Thanks,
Hal
