> Why would one want to use Web access to email instead of POP3/SMTP which is > Javascript-proof? One would want to use www e-mail access for any number of rather obvious reasons -- to have e-mail at all if broadband provider doesn't have mail server to have a backup if ISP mail server goes down to enable more than one account on more than one server to have an additional layer of protection/anonymnity to have access to e-mail send/receive when not on primary computer " " " " " " " when your computer crashes " " " " " " " when anywhere in world ... and last, but not least, by CC'ing yourself at alternate mail server you can archive mail sent on computer other than your own. Don't get carried away with keeping every little thing though, because all providers that have any brains will limit total amount of mail storage. [This use also provides you with the ability to refer to mail you've sent when you can't access your own computer -- and is an independent verification of approximately when the mail was sent ... since the web based account will show time stamp of when it was received at that account. -- -- Arachne V1.61, NON-COMMERCIAL copy, http://arachne.cz/
