Just wanted to put in another shameless plug for Gmail. Two or maybe three more reasons I love it: 1) Nearly unlimited storage at 6.5GB of 'free as in free' space, which is always getting larger. Although I've been using it for three years, I am currently only using 6% of my available space after all that time. So, yes nearly unlimited. 2) I don't have to rely on one computer to view the lists messages because it is web based. So, I use it at work (not to often though :-} ) then at home or wherever I have internet access. 3) Also, just to repeat myself. Gmail automatically "threads" emails by subject, so it is very nice to read as they say it's like having a conversation with people. Cheers, /Bob
