Thanks for the tips. I am a little nervous about giving my password to the
MAIL2WEB guys without knowing a little more about them, even if it is a
different password than anything on my local network. It looks like a neat
service though.
As for the telnet stuff I guess I would need to learn to speak pop before I
try that huh? I like the idea of knowing what goes on beneath the covers but
not sure I have the time to research it. Is there any consice documentation
out there on pop commands that can be issued via a telnet seesion or is the
rfc the best place to look?
