I am looking for an email service provider which offers pop3 to download email to a local machine. Mcmedia no longer providing this since they were bought by Bendigo telco I would also like this to be a constant email address that does not change every time I need to change ISP's. Privacy is also something of an issue and there seems to be some question on this issue with Gmail which I believe does allow the use of pop3.
Why do you want to use POP3? You can use Fetchmail and several other mail copying systems with IMAP.
Now I only use email when I have to, I do not regard it as a reliable method of communication, but from the little I know about pop3 and imap.........On general principle I do not like to store my own material on a system outside of my control. I also ONLY use email from a single system and have absolutely NO DESIRE for ANY kind of remote access of email. I still have email I received from 10 years ago, it makes interesting reading on what I was up to then. Man thanks for the reply, Lindsay
