I usually like Barry's suggestions but this one I am not on board with. I
absolutely hate getting my e-mail through the internet. I have Microsoft
Outlook set up with several folders and folders so that the email flows
directly into different boxes (including the ones that my wife gets for her
sewing interest). I don't want to have to go to several different web
address to check each one of the different boxes.
I am not going to slit my wrists if we switch but I will certainly be
displeased
