New Hit a nerve, did I?
You may have me confused with someone else. :-)

You make good points, and I'm aware of those things. I'm not a privacy nut - I don't worry about cookies, for example (though I do use SBS&D to clean out things occasionally on my Winders machines).

I get around 300 pieces of e-mail a day, about 99% of it is spam. (I know you get a lot more.) My ISP doesn't filter anything, AFAIK.

I just need to do some more thinking before I do anything irreversible, like give up an e-mail address that I've had for about 17 years.

Cheers,
Scott.
(Heh. He said "bike-shedding". ;-)

New my email at netscape is the same way
Ive had it forever, people can still find me that way
all mail is shared between sytems is clear text unless you encrypt it before you send it.
if you want to aggregate it any imap client is fine

It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the area you just bombed.
