Re: Free mail a/c that allows download of mail
Hi Mark, I use linuxfreemail.com since it's pop'able. I think yahoo mail is also pop'able but you have to give up your dirtiest family secrets and second born to make an account. You will either have to use a gui'd browser to send mail with them, or just use your normal ISP's smtp server. It's nice to have a spam account and just download it to /dev/null from time to time. tatah On Sunday 27 May 2001 06:47, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is there any free mail accounts (like hotmail etc.) that allow you to download your mail so that you can read it with mutt say?

Re: Free mail a/c that allows download of mail
I don't recall yahoo.com asking for my family secrets. It's been awhile, but I recall the procedure being relatively painless (and it's not like they can check if I really live at 100 Wall St., NY while earning less than $5000/year). You have to accept their spam email in order to use pop/smtp - but it's only about once/month - much better than other places out there. Also, in yahoo's defense, their webmail is browseable even with lynx! --ET. _ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
Free mail a/c that allows download of mail
Is there any free mail accounts (like hotmail etc.) that allow you to download your mail so that you can read it with mutt say? Instead of having to view it through the web browser when connected to the internet. I want something that you can use fetchmail or something similar to download the mail with. Is there any that allow this? Thanks in advance. Mark.

There are lots of reasons why this is, IMO, a less desirable solution, mostly centering around the basic notion that, if the mail is on your machine, you can access and filter it however you want instead of being tied to whatever piece of drek interface the mail service provider gives you. In this particular case, I suspect (based on the when connected to the internet comment above) that mdevin is on a dialup link and doesn't want to have to bring the link up and tie up a phone line while reading mail over that slow link. -- That's not gibberish...
