If it really is an IMAP account, there are a number of mail clients out there that can access it directly. It looks like you can only get this if you have Lycos Mail Plus and pay US$20/year. But given this, you can use programs like Mutt or Evolution to access your mail without a Web browser. > for the shear convenience of being able to check my mail > anywhere. (...and a well-set-up IMAP system will allow this; you should be able to read your mail both in mutt and via Lycos' Web system.) -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
