I've been using Gmail for a couple of years... Their spam control is real good. You have to go in and purge your own stuff if you really want it gone, but that's no big deal. I like it enough not to change it. And it's also a POP3 mail server so I can set it up in Outlook, and Outlook Express if I want to. Super easy to do online at hotels, too... Jeff

One Mpeg can be bigger than 10MB easily

Thanks Lee and Jeff. I looked into google briefly. It says they don't send or receive executable files. I think that would block some of the emails I get?

Most e-mail firewalls are now set up to block .exe files. Also .bat, scr and anything else that can carry viruses and installed by accidentally clicking on the file. If you know who's sending it, just have them rename it to something else and change it back when you receive it. .doc would work fine.

True, didn't know you were getting lots of e-mailed movies.

Thanks Lee,

I read some reviews that really praised the program and I signed up this morming. Now all I have to do is learn to use it (:-)

All you need to do to get around that is to install WinRAR and compress the files to a RAR OR rename them to JPG with a note to the receiver to rename it back to exe or whatever. I can't recall if ZIP files are allowed but I have sent RAR files to/from my account. If you need an 'invite' to get an account, drop me a line.

Thanks Dale. That would help for things I send but not for things people send me. But I looked back and I recieve very few EXE files so I probably won't miss them.
