So what is it -- 20 min, and a half dozen + responses -- ?

A little more info -- we're not in a mode to hire anyone, for a year or so.
I'm the most knowledgeable person RE networks/admin, and I'll be 150% time doing
physics/electronics.

"You are early enough in the process not to make that mistake: go with
IMAP, not POP. It lets you keep your folders and (sometimes) configuration
(e.g. address books, etc) on the mail server, so that, for example, people
can check mail from work & home and have the same view of everything
either way."

What's IMAP?  Sorry, no clue.

You suggest yahoo -- that's problably a bit too barebones.

"A good compromise might be a company that lets you have a virtual Linux
server on their system. You get to control what goes on with your system,"
This looks palatable -- I'll start googling...


Thanks all ...
