Hello Thomas & others on TBUDL following this thread,

Wednesday, January 31, 2001,  you stated regarding my saying that:

T> Wow. For me, GMX has been fairly reliable, but I wouldn't call it
T> fast. Talking about POP, as I use my ISP's SMTP server.

Prodigy.net.mx is slower. The others are acnet.net (variable),
operamail.com, newmail.net, mailandnews.com & subdimension.com.
The last one fails most. The others are all pretty good, which is
why I kept them. There were others that just flat out fell flat.

>> Does the mx0 above relate to Mexico? Perhaps not. gmx is also mx.

T> 'mx' means Mail Exchange Server. My ISP uses 'ms" - Mail Server.

It figures.

That's their logic and it's logical all right, but logic always has
an owner and as you well know, there is no single path to the truth
(or to wisdom). IOW, it all depends on what your objectives are.
