Hello Jonathan
Well... yes yam may become redundant. BUt, whilst getting email by www is
easy. I prefer my emails are deleted and downloaded to my computer. Its
faster, safer and I can read my emails offline, phone bills!!
Also, the web based emailers have a nasty reason why they allow free mail.
ADVERTS!!!! Also, they and they will dis-agree on this. THey use your info
to base advertising strategies on.
Oh well... I just like downloading mail and reading it offline... saves
bills!!
