Wasn't my account - but I take the point and that's what I tell people.

Going tangential for a minute, I'd like to tell these people a couple
more things - but run them past this group first to make sure I'm not
blowing smoke.

It is safer to use an email client than to use the provider's web mail
interface because there is much less chance of getting your address
book harvested.

The reason there is less chance of getting your address book harvested
is that, with an email client, your address book resides on the PC that
the client is running on - not the provider's web site/database.

If/when you do switch to using a client, your old address book on the 
provider's site is still exposed - so the safe thing to do is to delete
it once you are up-and-running with the client.
