I understand everyone's point of view on this and while I am not opposed to a re-write of the web mail, I'm surprised at the proliferation of pop-up blockers that are not smart enough to:
(a) differentiate between requested and unrequested pop-up windows
and/or
(b) allow you to manage a whitelist of sites that will not be blocked
I use Mozilla as my primary web (and mail) client and while I realize instructing people to not use IE is futile, this free software has both of the above capabilities.
As a web site developer, I feel I should remind the world from time to time that pop-up windows are not all bad - they serve a valuable function in many applications.
Getting off my soapbox.

I have to agree on this. Pop-ups are such an issue lately that any utility that uses popups can't long survive. We can't be telling people to disable this when it is now going to be built into IE, most won't even understand what is going on. We are also selling an accelerator service that has a built in popup blocker and it begins to make you look a little silly if your selling a service that stops one of the other services that you make available. Its time for a re-write of the web email and it really needs to be done soon.

Apparently, Service Pack 2 for Windows XP will install a pop-up blocker plugin for Internet Explorer and enable it by default.

The pop-up blockers and the effect they have on ModusWebMail are one of our bigger support issues. In light of this news, I'd like resubmit my request that pop-up windows be eliminated from ModusWebMail.
