Probably - there have been enough security holes in it to drive a
bus through.
If you need webmail, try http://www.anytimenow.com/ - it
even lets you access other POP3 mailboxes (and hotmail too).
Until I got a laptop with a modem (yay! Vaio!) a few days ago,
I was using it to get at my @members.evolt.org mail. Now of
course I can just dial up.
Cheers
