i think AOL allows you to retreive pop3 mail...

i switched to amex online from AOL last week... i guess i just beat the deadline...

the service is pretty decent, though getting the local number can be a prob sometimes...

but then, its free and the amex logo is really tiny and unobstrusive. so i don't mind.

and 20 bucks is not such a trivial amount... how many stomachs in the poorer places of the world could you feed with that ??
