Oh? I thought unless your host says your email is an IMAP account, and calles 
it a POP3 then you couldn't go that route. 

I still have some webmails, but mostly the ones I check on my computer are 
domain addresses for my sites, and for some that I look after for other 
people. It is really convenient and more efficient to look after all of them 
in one program. If I stored them on the sites' servers, I'm afraid I'd be 
using up space there. I'm all for flexibility too, but a good rut can be 
comfortable, right? :)

Okay, this is still strange territory for me. I'm going to have to study up on 
it, as I can sneak the time to do so.  Thanks, for the recommendation.
