I think they've got it backwards ... Which costs more to provide, web access or POP3? Definitely web access. Which has more customers, web access of POP3? Definitely web access. If they were smart they would provide POP3 for free, add advertisments to messages downloaded via POP3, and charge for web access. It might make them unpopular but it would probably make them profitable within a week. g
