I can't believe there's more people wanting invites than people who have them. I still have the fifty they gave every member recently. Anyone want some? _________________________ Matt

That being said, if I had known you could get Pop3 access on this (and the huge attachment sizes they offer) I would have begged someone for one a long time ago! 10MB isn't exactly huge, but my hosting company for my web site limits me to 5mb.

It should be right on the main page there. There's a little blue box on mine that says "Invite a Friend." I'm going to check out that POP3 thing. What do you mean by POP3 access? _________________________ Matt

msaeger carpal tunnel Registered: 23/09/2000 Posts: 3608 Loc: Minnetonka, MN	Pop3 access would mean you can check the messages from something like outlook or another stand alone email program. I remember reading in the message when they started pop3 that you would have to pay for it after the beta is over so I never started using it. _________________________ Matt

Dignan carpal tunnel Registered: 08/03/2000 Posts: 12338 Loc: Sterling, VA	I swear I would pay for GMail if I could check my POP3 email with it. I just can't limit myself to one email address. With my own domain, I have as addresses at my domain as I want. I would switch over to GMail right now if I could check my POP3 mail with it, and if I could import my current mail into it (I hear you can do that, but it didn't sound very fool-proof or elegant to me). _________________________ Matt
