BTW,which email client do u use ? I am asking u this because you have
pine. sometimes I use sendmail raw, sometimes I telnet to port 25.
an iName.com email ID and AFAIK it's a webmail service. Do they also provide pop3 and smtp services ?
when I signed up, they provided stored or forwarded mail and smtp. We had to choose between stored or forwarded mail. Either way, we got smtp. If one chose webmail, then you also got pop3 for free. On 1st Jan 1999, they made pop3 a paid service, and attached smtp to the pop3 service. Webmail and forwarding was still free. I signed up with them sometime in early '97, and chose the forwarding service, which is why, although I've changed my email address several times, you can still mail me on iname.
Problem - iname bounces too often for my liking, and there are loads of servers on its blacklist (including some of vsnl's).
I also have about 50 other email addresses. Many of them I don't remember the user names for. Passwords, I remember all. Tricky situation wot? I really only check a few of these. Three of my addresses are forwarding accounts. Two are for chatting only. One is for office work, one is for home.
Hope that answers your question.
