Unless you can generate lots of traffic to the page and sell ad space,
IMO,
it's not worth the effort. Tell your customers to sign up for
http://my.yahoo.com/ and read their POP3 mail from http://mail.yahoo.com/
While I've disagreed with you before, Dan, never so vociferously as now
<smile>.
Offering web-based email reading support for our POP3 mailboxes is one of
the few value-added services we can offer that actually differentiates us
from other ISPs.
In other words, for the cost (under us$1,000) it brings in actual customers
who otherwise might never come to us.
That may not be worth the effort to you; it certainly is to me.
Jeff
