There are several freemail servers out there which offer web/pop3/forwarding e.g. http://www.emailaddresses.com -- usa.net is most certainly NOT the only one.
Albeit slowly, both hotmail and yahoo can now be retrieved by any email client by using CWebMail http://www.cwebmail.com.
Before beginning to charge for their POP3 access, usa.net's POP server performance was very unreliable -- timing out 50% of the time.
Admittedly, usa.net's email forwarding service is the best out there, offering variable selective filtering to an unlimited number of addresses. It is good for setting up an intermediate forwarding router for web-hosted domains not having POP/IMAP facility available on full server or virtual server services e.g. http://www.esosoft.net. This is worth $1.00 per month -- otherwise there are many other free forwarding services out there -- some include Web/POP3 access, too.
American Express bought a huge chunk of and a large seat on the board so it is not surprising that usa.net started charging for these basic services (or giving them for free to AMEX card holders).
I am new to Linux. Would love to see Eudora on Linux.
I primarily use Outlook Express 5.0 on NT4.0WS. Email is my primary application. I access more than a dozen different mailboxes, have even more "From:" "Reply To:" identities. Like the choice of either text or html editing. Don't mind the mouse. Outlook 98 is overkill. Eudora 4.x is the only thing that approaches Outlook Express in flexibility.
Keep hearing about the virtues of Pine and Mutt -- are there any X-based clients with this same functionality in one package available for Linux?
If Eudora goes OSS and something wonderful happens -- great! Alas, it will be a long time before MS ports IE/Outlook Express to Linux.

Any practical suggestions?
