Ok it is in the works. I don’t know how long it is going to take–it may be after Christmas. But it IS coming! ---

Not for me, I’m afraid. But I’ve already got my own sites. My main site has 100MB of space and all the trimmings. But I think you’d get a lot of action from people who aren’t quite as geeked out as Lady Chance and I. ---

I would use it if: It uses POP3 and didn’t cost anything (there are still too many free email’s out there to consider paying) and did not encourage spam I might use it if: it used imap4 instead of pop3 (I just find POP more useful) I will not use it if: any on the ‘will use’ conditions are not met (ex. imap) ---

Yes I would. What about banners and/or popups tho? ---

If I could ever figure out _how_ to create a web page (it’s on my long list of To Dos), then the space would be great! ---

I would have if I had not already set up everything on other servers (from my ISPs). I’m reluctant to change things. How the heck can you afford to provide such for free? ---

For me to have this removed would cost me $50/month which I can’t afford. I don’t know if it has popups or not. The company I am partnering with does offer the option of upgrading your account to no-ads for $1.99/month. ---
