| That's exactly the reaction I had.
|If I supply them with my username/password. They can now read
every
|message sent to me. (d/l every message but leave on server)
|
|You might ask: Why would they _want_ to do this???
|
|If they see what other kinds of advertisement emails I'm already
getting.
|They'll know what my interests are and then know what other
ads to send.
|
|NO THANK YOU, WEBBOX. I'll keep my password to myself !!!
|
|BTW, I tried several times to setup an eMail account with them.
|Every time the attempt failed.
|"Please try again later". Was all that it would say.
|
| Update:
|
|It finally worked.
| You can now send eMail to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
|
|Use of Arachne for all Email manipulation functions seems to
|be working.
|
|But, file uploads to "WebBox" require html upload capability.
|(file attachments to eMails also)
|So for now, we won't be able to use Arachne for those features.
