That is a very good point. I have to wonder why it is such a frequent topic. Perhaps there are no really solid FOSS options for webmail service. With companies like Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft dumping money like crazy in to their web mail systems maybe they are out-competing what a FOSS project can get going. Necessity is the mother of all invention, if gmail is good enough why spend development cycles creating something different? These free services set the bar rather high in some cases. Some of my less technical friends have been using Yahoo mail for 6+ years. Old habits are hard to break. Users have come to expect quite a bit from their webmail. They want it to work in a very specific way. -Ryan /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
