Hi all,
Runbox seems to be a great new service. Quite remarkably I didn't have any
difficulty with configurations in my initial setup.
However, when I decided to use it as a temporary replacement for an old
e-mail account that is no longer valid in Netscape's Messenger (which I
rarely use) I found that I had to "POP" before send. This may have been
because I neglected to alter the outgoing e-mail address in Messenger -
**not** the "Reply To:" address (you know the one - 'if different from
your e-mail address') but the actual e-mail address that appears in the
header, viz. -

I find this troubling since it would seem to leave the door wide open to
spammers.
Can anyone present an alternative deduction?
