Re: OT Hotmail

[Sidney Maestre]

I'm in full agreement with using hotmail to retrieve mail while travelling.  It's

great to dial-in from a relative's or cybercafe and connect to your POP server

hundreds of miles away for free AND you don't have to re-configure your Aunt's

mail client to get your email.


But......due to DG's and other's comments on this list, I only use hotmail if

necessary.
