> The first major YAFMS with a gig of storage maybe why Maybe, but on my own computer I can have 10G, or 100G if I want. I can put my computer online too, with thr web interface I want, but whether I really want all my private mail online is something I very much doubt. Combined with serious privacy concerns (thanks Martin for a good summary URL), I'm clearly not interested either in all my private mail being kept by any American company, the difference in privacy matters to some despot dictator country or the Nazis is infinitesimally small these days.
So yeah, what's the hype? I'll stay with gmx any time. Even encrypted pop3 in the free version... most companies don't offer that even for any amount of money. Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is possibly list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.
