My principal ISP is on my University account. I dial in, but it costs me
nothing. It's always busy in the evenings when students are downloading
their "music".
I set up a free account with Juno for certain things a long while ago,
and then hived off three more for use with mailing lists. This is one of
those three. For all of these tree I continue to use Juno 1.49, and dial
in every week or two to see what's going on.
The original one, glw4@xxxxxxxx, has gravitated upwards to Juno 5, and
now gets mostly spam. I also have another account using Juno 5.
I also have four accounts using Juno 4.11. I get a lot of pictures there
as attachments, so had to separate the accounts because of the 2M limit.
I keep everything sorted out by the expedient of saving the password for
an accounbt only in the version of Juno that I like to use for it.

I'm 79.

Likewise, except occasionally when the students have slowed down my
school account to a crawl.

I haven't used Yahoo for e-mail. I should try PopPeeper.
