Q. Do I need a current Internet Service Provider to obtain
          a POP3 Mailbox account?

A. Yes, you do need a computer and current Internet Access. Logix
         Development Corp. does not provide dial-up Internet accounts.

Q. If I can get an e-mail address through my current ISP for free,
         then why should I purchase a POP3 mailbox through Logix?

A. Most people who purchase a POP3 Internet mailbox do so for one
of the following reasons:

To maintain a permanent email address, even if they change jobs,
schools, home address, or Internet Service Providers.
To keep roommates or family members from viewing personal mail.
To list their email address in a more personal manner, as opposed
to, let's say, wayne23@earthlink.
To list their email address in a completely anonymous manner, to
send and receive email in complete privacy. This may be a benefit
to those who are involved in correspondence that includes Adult
material, or those involved in interpersonal relationships with
people they have not physically met.
To avoid receiving personal email at their place of business.
To avoid having their real name turn up in a search that could be
run in the future, by potential employers or clients, and could prove
to be embarassing due to purchases or information sent via the
Internet.

Also, POP3 addresses do not direct searchers to you. For example,
someone at your place of business could not impersonate you,
(known on the Net as IMPing) sending out malicious or slanderous
email, if you had a POP3 Permanent Mailbox to protect your identity.
To keep your geographic location anonymous. Your local ISP gives
others an idea as to where you actually live, for example, if you are
using an ISP based in Chicago, it could be assumed that you live
in Chicago. POP3 is not an ISP, and therefore does not reveal
where you live.

Q. Will I have more control over my email address by purchasing
a POP3 Mailbox?

A. Yes! You'll be able to administer a number of changes
         on your account, such as change and confirm your password,
         provide finger information, provide a custom message in the event
         you are on vacation, forward your mail to another email address,
         and submit changes on current information. (See related section
         below if you are a subscriber.)

Q. How expensive is it to start up a POP3 mailbox account?

A. An account can be started for as little as $5.00. Call our
24 Hour Customer Service Center at (800) 365-6449
to place your order now!
