So far, Amex seems much better then Webflyer was (is). With Weblfyer you could access POP3 e-mail, but you could not send outgoing mail. With Amex you can send and fetch. However, you can only send using the Amex server, but you can use any e-mail address you eneter in the box. This means that you can send e-mail and have it come from your normal address even though you are using the Amex server, a real plus over Webflyer.

Instalation did not go easily. It took about 7 tries. If you are going to do the install and you are on the road, you must make up an address with the zip and phone number where you are (not where you live). The second step dials a local number and only gives you number choices for the state you specify as your home address. It does not verify this address against your card. Once you fully sign up, then you have the full array of numbers to pick from and you can go back and correct your address.

The speed seems to be much better then Webflyer, but the lines tend to be busy about 1 out of 6 times, although I have only been at it for a few hours and it may be specific to where I am?

Will keep you posted.
