I prefer webmail because once POP downloads the e-mails onto your computers, any viruses/trojans attached are free to run wild. While... if the files remain on the server, it really can't do anything... but, this is where anti-virus comes in. If you use POP or whatever e-mail service that downloads files straight to YOUR computer, make sure to get an e-mail scanner so you dont get any bad fellas coming in with your wonderful mail.
