Cheers BB,
but dosent using POP3 to download your emails to your PC defeat the purpose of having a 1GB online storage capacity?
Does POP3 just redirect the emails, or copy and forward them on?

That's a nice looking little tool. Is it yours? Did you write it? Why not GPL it on sourceforge and get other people involved to make it better.

Is it written in VB.NET or C#? I could help tweaking it if needed as I'm very familiar with web.mail namespaces in C#. Does it deal with attachments?

I'm sure the good Mr cstaylor might have something to say about it being written in .NET and not Java too ...
