[QUOTE="MilenkoD, post: 580941, member: 36349"] I've been primarily been using my DSL provider's HTTP email (AT&T Yahoo DSL). It's the real slick interface Yahoo purchased from OddPost...very "ajax-ie". They've incorporated some excellent spam filtering IMHO. However, there are a few "forced" issues that I have real displeasure with. You can skip past the rants for the help part..... [B]Rant begin:[/B] 1.) Recently, AT&T has decided that their online email (a service that I pay for mind you) be pilfered with annoying / obnoxious flashing and animated side-bar adds...not to mention other inconspicuous adverts elsewhere above, below and anywhere possible in the pane. Why do I have to pay for these? 2.) EVERY attachment uploaded or downloaded is automatically "Scanned by Norton Anti-Virus" on the server side. Hey, that's great for my 70 year old dad on Win XP. However, I a fairly savvy computer user in general and know the "don't open attachments" revelry. More importantly...IM ON A MAC. What Virus??? 3.) Yahoo has incorporated Yahoo Messenger/Chat into the email application. It's sort of nice since I can chat with my relatives overseas. However, more frequently I'm invited to "meet" large-sized women of ethnicity in my area. Also, I get frequent solicitations questioning my sexual performance and "size". I have 4 healthy children all 5 years old and under. I hardly believe anything regarding my genitalia is in question. Simply annoying. [B]So for the Help:[/B] I'm seriously considering an email application on my Mac. I'm on Tiger so I have 10.4 email as an option. I also have Mac Office 2004, so there's Entourage as well.
