Yeah.....Looks like I'm about to build my own mail srever. I don't know
about anyone else, but I don't get spam. I think I've had maybe 2
messages that were spam sence I've had this acount (5 months or so).
Otherwise, I see this as Yahoo being greedy.
Anyone know of another web based mail that offers free pop?
Adam
