As far as getting your mail, that should be the same as it is now,
because you can "pop" your mail from anywhere.

Asf far as sending your mail, well that'st the advantage of running
linux, you can set up sendmail or postfix to send your mail directly
without going thru your isp.

The only problem with the latter is AOL users are increasingly hard
to send mail to with linux, you just about have to go thru your ISP
these days.  But then, what would any self respecting linux user
have to say to an AOL user anyway.... 8-p
