FWIW, I know of a few other folks who use MII and like it, including Greg Pyros, a regular on this forum. You can save a LOT of money using a CIS navigator. I use CisNav which is windows based, so I can do other stuff while it automatically goes everwhere I script it to, and downloads all messages based on search criteria I dictate. Then I read the stuff offline (several hundred messages per day), respond, then run the script again and it uploads messages, mail. CisNav is $30 from CIS, comes with a $10 usage credit, and has brought my CIS bill down at least 50%, even though I would mark and download messages by hand before, and not read them on line. The learning curve is easy, I had my first script ready 10 minutes after CisNav download, and haven't changed it since. I use 9600 baud access, unless I'm going to download large binary files. I have to access 14,4 long distance, and 9600 is local. cheers, John Tissavary (La Luna cie)
