Re: Good Free Email
PopUp Stopper Pro will take care of those annoying popups quite effectively. Hold the control key when you want a popup (like preveiw on this forum).

Re: Good Free Email
Where could one acquire this popup stopper?
Look what those M$ (explitive deleted) have done now to free hotmail accouts:

You'd think that a multi-billion (trillion?) dollar corporation could have enough servers to avoid problems such as these. Grr... |

Re: Good Free Email
My prefered proxy server (popup/ad stopper) is The Proxomitron. It dynamically parses the text that comes to your system from the Web, all HTML, Java, JS, etc., and does a find and replace on it to kill popups, ad banners, and otherwise customize the Web to how YOU want to see it.

Re: Good Free Email
Ditto on the Proxomitron. I even use it to filter parts of this site that I don't use, like the printer-friendly view.
PopUp Stopper Pro can be purchased through panicware.com for, um, $19 I think. (I think I'm sounding like Kodos now.  )

Re: Good Free Email
I guess I'm late on the responses. I got a job today and actually had to work (arrhhhg).
Anyway, Popup Stopper Pro can be had here and IMHO is a great tool(yes, $19.95). I get no popups, popunders, or anything else obtrusive to my surfing pleasure. Have been using it for quite some time and like it.

That's right. I can't afford to pay for surfing tools; my gaming habit takes up all my spare cash.  Actually, the Proxomitron is free, and works quite nicely. Adding filters to it is a little bit intimidating at first, but isn't too bad.
