hi seth! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

i want POP3 only because i want to download & keep my e-mails, especially ones from friends & relatives. that's the nicest thing about POP3 for me. plus i can read my mail offline.

i hate web-based mail for the fact that i have to slog through adds & banners & stuff i don't want just to read some e-mail. it slows the whole process which should be simple in the first place. plus, most web-based mail service are trapped with spam & i no longer have patience with spam nor forwarded jokes from anybody, even friends or relatives. did i mention that i hate web-based mail?

lycos is offering mail sync which means i have to use outlook to read my mail as an alternative to web-based method. i hate that as well because outlook is a favourite among virus authors & distributors. is there any other e-mail client that can do mail sync like outlook? sync is nice for those on the move but i am not. on the move, that is.

i just want a simple service: download e-mail safely & without hassle. & of course to avoid web-based mail checking & ms outlook as much as possible.

thanks for replying.
