I've been using them for years, and am quite pleased with the POP/SMTP service (also have web based interface as part of the service). Accounts have never been "hijacked" in any way. Getting one's own domain name, and using it to host an email account is another good option (I do this as well; my "willkayakforfood.net" account, hosted by GoDaddy). This has become quite an easy and affordable option, with the bonus of personally chosen custom naming/options). No need for Hotmail, MSN, Yahoo, Google (gmail), etc. (all represent annoying--at the very least--privacy concerns as well). Just so there's some paddling content in this post... I'll be out for a long afternoon/evening paddle shortly. :) -- Melissa *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
