Hi PC Cat, and All,

Don't think I follow your logic on this one.  In the first place, if I'm
reading #5 of their FAQ correctly, it's stating that as long as you leave
a message (read or unread) in the Beta Web Mail site Inbox, it will
remain on the Juno central computers available for download through the
Juno software.  So in effect, by leaving the messages in the Inbox, you
are choosing to leave them available for download through the Juno
software, basically as you could do before.

Seems to me that allowing 10 mb on the Beta Web Mail site yet limiting
the amount allowed on the central computers to something less would CAUSE
the house of cards to crash.  If you can store 10 mb at the Beta Web Mail
site and kept all that mail in the Inbox, you'd have to have at least
that much room available on the Juno central computers to have that mail
available for download through the Juno software as well.  Only having 8
mb (or less?) of storage on the central computers wouldn't cut it.  And I
believe Juno issued a statement at the beginning of the upgrade process
back in mid-June to the effect that the Juno central computers would also
be storing 10 mb per account mailbox from then on.

So it seems to me that each account can store 10 mb at the Beta Web Mail
site (as long as you keep your Inbox clear) AND ANOTHER 10 mb of unread
mail coming through the central computers at any given time.  And that's
quite a bit of mail...  especially if you have multiple accounts!

George Lunt ..... so. cal.
