   Hello,   
      
   My mother asked me an interesting question:   
      
   "What to do with her e-mail account when she is on vacation ?"   
      
   I don't know if she will have internet access while on vacation... probably   
   not.   
      
   She is not so pc-savy...   
      
   Also the whole point of vacation would be to be away from it all lol.   
      
   Further more I wouldn't want my mother to be accessing her e-mail from a   
   internet-cafe or so for possible fear of keyloggers and what not ?! ;) :)   
      
   I sensed she is more or less worried that she might start missing e-mails ?!   
      
   She and her "contacts" exchange pictures a lot... like family/vacation   
   pictures and what not...   
      
   So I think her fear of the e-mail box getting full is justified.   
      
   So I ask this newsgroup, and also hoping that ISP's are reading along:   
      
   What can ISP's do to help my mother ?   
      
   Maybe give extra e-mail box space while she is on vacation ?!?   
      
   Or maybe temporarely suspending the e-mail service.. so that isp's will   
   notify other people that's she's on vacation and should retry later when   
   she's back... ?!?   
      
   Bye,   
     Skybuck.
