Exactly, it was a dumb question. I always tell people to never use an ISP's email account. First, they're pretty much always crappy super-basic accounts with tiny space and often even no web interface, and second, it's just a way to tie you to the ISP.

Well I am not going to switch ISP's since there isn't any available here that even comes close to the speed and reliability I get now. I have been living in this house since 1976 and since my next birthday will be my 70th I don't think I will be moving except maybe to a nursing home some day.
