Hi Larry!
Do you use Outlook or Outlook Express for your mail client? If so, how about
signing up with NetZero and setting an account up for her there? You don't
have to use the dialup after you sign up and it gives you a POP3 account that
you could set her up her own profile in Outlook/OExpress... or if you use
MultiUser Profiles in Windows like I do, the email profile is attached to the
user login... you could set it up so her client doesn't remove messages from
the server and add her account to your profile and pick up the messages from
your account and then remove them from the server to monitor her mail in your
email... just set a folder and a filter and you can sort them automatically.
It's easy enough for younger ones to use and no ads whatsoever... you can
apply filters as you see necessary should any problems arise.
