It's a pretty small group of victims.  Juno only started allowing POP3
access last year, and encouraging it with the Juno 6 software.  With Juno
7 they reversed this policy, but only a few free riders ever got caught
using Juno 6.

It shows the unwisdom of abandoning Juno's proprietary mailer for
standard ones.  Stick with Juno 5 and you're all right.  Me?  Stick with
Juno 4.  Even more all right.

Yeah, thoroughly fouled up.  Neatness costs money, and this cheapskate
outfit doesn't give you neatness.

Basically, the biggest mistake you can make with Juno is to pay for it. 
Second biggest mistake is to upgrade your old version before the new
version is also obsolete.  Third biggest mistake is expecting help from
Juno's help line.  I am very happy with Juno's service, being lucky
enough to make all the right choices.
