I wonder if those who are stuck with Comcast or simply persist in
using it could get *all* their mail by using a yahoo or gmail account.
 Is it just mail to the comcast email addresses they block or do they
actually block traffic from other mail servers?  Maybe someone in the
know could tell us.  I use gmail through my Verizon ISP and it does
very nicely, with lots of features.
