Reading his post, it reminded me of the good old days when I connected a couple of times per day to my regular BBS to download my FIDO messages and upload my replies...or when I had dialup Internet and had my first POP3 account configured...

It seems we are back in the days where email was delivered in some sort of "virtual post office" and you had to connect periodically, instead of having email directly delivered to your Inbox.
