Good work! :) Anyway, the reason i'm commenting is the fact that google actually provides people that have domain with free services (emails, calendar etc.) All you have to do is setup an account with google (free) (not a normal account i think it is called google apps) and you have to change your MX settings etc for your domain. All nice and easy, they provide you with step by step guide. Takes maybe 24 hours to complete. That leaves you with all pretty stuff from google (gui, calendar, documents, reader etc) and your own domain and email address luke@mydomain.com. Cheers, Luke NOTE: I think they call this service as being for business, but its free up to 50 users. I use it and it works. I just downloaded your ausie dictionary for mozilla. Good work! :)

I now use Gmail. Beside that, I also use Thunderbird to download my mails to my desktop as a back up. Thanks for the post - I think others will find it very useful and make them consider how they use ISP emails.

I have just setup mine and really enjoy it.
