Jeff (and others reading along),

I tried the EmuMail 4 package for RaQ3, but didn't really like the interface
and didn't have time to change it to something I did like.  Someone else on
the user list mentioned free outsourced webmail from http://www.outbridge.com
which I have gone ahead and implemented.  It works well, and includes nice
additions such as web based bookmarks (import from MSIE or NS), address book
(import from your mail client), To Do lists, and a Calendar.

The interface is not customizable, but is very clean and easy to navigate
without being cluttered by advertising.

Yes, I know, the hairs stood up on my neck too when I considered the idea of
ourtsourced webmail, but it has been 100% positive for me so far...

Just my two cents (1.35 cents Canadian).
