Barry, if you mean you can't enter your email pop account directly (like
configuring it in I.E. or Netscape) then you can use an external http method
like I need to as they stopped that method as well. I use
http://www.mail2web.com. No connection - just works (most of the time). It's
harder to use than direct mail downloaded and a mail manager, but you can get
to your email. I believe there are other 3rd parties out there. Someone else
may have other suggestions. Other nice thing though is you can get your email
as long as you can get to the web - anywhere.

Subject: Leaving the lists
>From the recent rash of viruses (4 in just the last three days three from
this account, 3 ha ha ha's and one sexy virgin [none that I opened] and
one through someone else [the Kournikova virus] that infected the whole
company cause they opened it) it would appear that the company I work for
will be implementing, in the near future, a ruling that no more POP3
accounts will be allowed. What this unfortunately means for me is that I
will probably sign off. I was on the lists in the beginning about 5 years
ago on my work account, but mark kicked me off for some reason because of
something on that account I presume so I switch to my home one. I can
handle some messages in the morning, the rest at lunch, but I just don't
have time to sort through this much mail in bulk at home in the evening so
when the ultimatum comes that'll be it for me. We'll see, maybe saner
heads will prevail. Possibly I will still stay on afterwards and every
couple of days scan the lists at home, or use the digest mode (not sure how
that works but I may be finding out :-}). . .we'll see - unfortunately,
because some cretins have nothing better to do than destroy other peoples
property, and disrupt the lives of ordinary people for god only knows what
gratification, we all end up suffering - So for now it's business as usual
until the decision comes -
