After getting a hint of Paradise bouncing mail for me, I tried to find out how much volume is in the mailbox. Turns out that their *&([EMAIL PROTECTED] webmail doesn't say (for any folder) how much space is taken up out of the 10MB, but all the rubbish in the spam/virus folder counts against the quota nevertheless. Their technician confirmed that there's no way, not even for them, to find out how much space is used by the spam folder. In other words, there's no way to find out whether I'm over quota. HAhaahahaaaaaaaaaaaa................... man that sucks.
Plus the old gripe of course, deleting it requires to use slooow web mail and deleting 20 at a time.
Not using the filter is now possible, but someone on adsl is getting 250MB/day of virus.
Not sure whether Paradise is still worth recommendation.
I don't think many of the other ISP's will offer any better. Mine is not any better at least.
I used to webmail, but now I limit email size to 10kB. Netscape will only load the first few lines of any mail bigger than that (I can load the whole thing if it is genuine). I can then delete all the emails I don't need (most of them!) and keep the rest locally...
The spam is a royal PITA and the sooner lax legislation is updated to force ISP's to actively kill this stuff the better...
Kind regards,
