POP3 Mailbox

• 20Mb Storage space
• Access via POP3, HTTP & WAP (ie access from anywhere)
• Automatic virus scanning at our mail server, with sender/recipient notification  Explain
• Choice of skins (layouts), with some skins optimised for low-bandwidth (e.g. GSM mobile users)
• No 'use every X days' or lose it restriction
• Multiple attachments (up to 1MB per mail)
• Provider independent (you don't have to use a specific Internet access provider)
• Properly recognised email address for online trading (some online traders will not accept Hotmail accounts)
• No annoying adverts on the WebMail interface
• SPAM blocking  Explain
