I am not Paul but I developed quite a dislike for the e-mail program last May when my hard drive crashed and I had to use the BN to collect 300-400 messages a day. It collected them just fine but, I am used to Outlook where I can set filters so that the BN messages end up in their own box, the Jaws messages in their box and my personal messages in their own box. Trying to deal with this amount of mail in one inbox and find the messages that it was most important I answer was a time-consuming, and labor intensive process. It took me nearly five hours a day to read e-mail instead of the approximate one hour I normally would spend on the computer. I hope never to have to use the BN as my only e-mail connection again. I don't mind sending a message with it occasionally and getting back say 10-20 messages but it just can't be efficient dealing with hundreds of messages all stuck in one box. Then there is the HTML issue that has been discussed on this list many times. I am so glad I don't have to depend on the BN for all my e-mail needs.

I've been doing mostly all my email on it for months now, with very few problems. One that I can remember got blamed on the BN, and was, in fact, a problem with my ISP. So, I'd say that, while their email is fiddly, it is relatively reliable. Well, once in a very long while, I'll lose a message that I've written.
