Hi Dorothy, and All,

Juno has apparently given up on Mail.com...  and I'm not sure if you can
still download your Juno mail there or not.  But I posted a message I
received from Juno announcing they'd created (are creating) a site on
their own.  It's located at http://beta-webmail.juno.com and is working
well.  Nothing fancy yet, no filters or other "standard" web-based mail
stuff...

This is pretty much how the old site has been working for me the past two
or three days.

Not yet, but I'm sure we're going to be...  and I've been experimenting
and as long as you leave messages in your Inbox, they're still available
for download through your Juno software.  But if you move the mail into a
folder other than your Inbox (not quite sure how you think this
protects), then they CANNOT be downloaded via the Juno software.  I have
no idea, come to think of it, what happens if you move a previously moved
one (Web mail Inbox --> Personal Folder) back to the Inbox (Personal
Folder --> Inbox).  Don't know if that message will then become available
again to be downloaded from your Juno software or not.  I do know that if
you leave a message in your Webmail Inbox, and then run two mail
retrieval sessions from your Juno software, your Juno software will only
download it once.  

How it's going to work in the end, whether or not Juno will continue to
support old or new Free E-mail accounts, will it support v1.49 if it
does...  are all questions up in the air with the Netzero merger coming
down the road... timeline, by the end of the year.

George Lunt ..... so. cal.
