I have a an old freeserve email account which is useful as I can pop3 to it and also access it via webmail. It is of course Orange web mail these days & it has only been since it has been Orange that I have intermittent problems logging in. This occurs sometimes with pop3 but mainly with web mail.

I have discovered the cause of the most recent problems, I don’t have “enable all cookies” set in my privacy settings (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299331). Now I have done this I can access the web mail & delete some of the 1800 spams filtered off for me. Unfortunately as I have not received some mail I was expecting I will have to trawl through at least some of them

So, “enable all cookies” is that a wise option? Am I leave my (increasingly creaky) IE6 vulnerable to some attack I don’t know about?
