I doubt she has a POP3 mailbox in an account seperate from webmail (why would she?), and the reverse (using a POP mail client to grab emails from webmail) can be a pain when you keep lots of old messages and get frequent new messages and try to keep track of which are read and which are not, and then if you want to have your sent mail accessible you need to always bcc: yourself, etc. For a person not into computers, I can certainly see why they would say webmail is easier. -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.net/ _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
