No, Juno works like this: When I ask to check or send mail, it dials up the POP number, uploads everything in my outbox, and if I've told it to Get mail as well, downloads all messages from the server. It then cuts the connection (one of the things I like, as I've only the one phone line). The From and Subject lines of all my incoming messages are displayed, and as I place my cursor on each, the message itself appears in the window below. As I look at each message I can delete it, save it to a folder (but that has to be done manually: I select a message or messages, click Move to folder, and then select the folder from a drop-down list; no way to do it BEFORE I've looked at the message--all unread messages go only to the inbox), copy it to a folder or save it to a text file (Juno's native format is unreadable by anything else)--or any combination thereof. And, of course, I can reply to it or forward it to someone else. (The attached bitmap is a screenshot of Juno with my XyWrite folder open; the Inbox looks the same, except that all just-received messages are there.) How big a screen does PolarBar give one? Juno's is full screen, and I can set the font to 14 point if I want (and with my myopic eyes, I do). When I've used Netscape's e-mail app with my other ISP, I've gone crazy trying to see the tiny messages in the minuscule in-box. I don't think Juno will let me use another e-mail app, so it will mean changing ISPs (and addresses) as well. There are things I like about Juno: no graphics (great when I get offensive spam), the get-the-mail-and-get-off-the-line procedure, and low cost. But I cannot block spam, and am drowning in it, so perhaps it's time to change. I have a backup account that was with Prodigy, but Prodigy got bought out by Yahoo, and I blame Yahoo for the flood of spam (never got any until my professional assn's list's host got bought by Yahoo too; then the floods began). I know I don't want AOL or AT&T (a friend has the latter and apparently one cannot get mail except while on the Web all the time one is looking at it, and I don't want to tie up my phone line). Has anyone any recommendations for commercial ISPs? Thanks in advance. Patricia
