you can check mail at the office, from home, from the insecure
hotel, from the insecure internet cafe, from the insecure kinkos
and you will only see "new" emails for you to check and/or save
you can do the same w/ pop3 .. takes little(lot) more work w/ procmail
before using pop3
and if you dont want the 150K file, you never need to "get it"
just delete on the pop server ... you do need to at least see
the subject line that there is a pending 150K email you didnt read/check
yet
