Reviews and testimonials: I use Pegasus, it's free, its very powerful, and I've upgraded through several versions now. Since my internet provider allows for several email accounts, and since setting up the "multi-pop" feature of Pegasus is a bit confusing, I use Netscape mail for my second account. That's part of Netscape Communicator.

Don --and others--if you use Outlook and don't want to get viruses, then at least go ahead and set it so it isn't in the preview mode. Then you have a better chance of stopping worms before they open before your eyes in the preview mode. I agree with the statements above--if you use web mail, you can delete suspicious posts, but if you open attachments you'll still get viruses. I simply delete suspicious posts, and you need to be pretty strict about what you consider suspect these days. Big posts, posts from people you don't know, and POSTS YOU AREN'T EXPECTING from people you know. Was Aunt Tillie going to send you a bunch of photos, or is this perhaps a worm masquerading as Aunt Tillie? If you don't know, email her before opening to ask, or play it safe and dump it. She can send it again.
