![[Item Permalink]](http://radio.weblogs.com/0112083/images/ur_bullet.gif){kind=small} Life without pop-ups -- Comment()
Taken from a comment by gregory at kasia in a nutshell: "I'm wondering how much impact things like Safari and Mozilla will start making on web sites with popups. I honestly have pretty much forgotten they exist. Enough so that I'll send people to a cool site I've found and they'll go 'AUGH. Popup ads all over the place!'." I must admit I had completely forgotten that pop-ups exist. When was the last time I saw one? Probably when I last started up Internet Explorer - a year or so ago.

Using Mac OS X Mail -- Comment()
I *hate* os x mail: "There’s no way to tell mail.app on OS X that you don’t want it to check mail on one of your accounts." [mamamusings] I have solved this problem by setting a wrong password for the inactive account. Thus, Mail does not gain access to this account, and fortunately doesn't put up any dialogs asking for the password repeatedly. Update: I noticed at the comments at mamamusings another way of inactivating an account: Under Mail | Preferences... | Accounts | Advanced there is a check box to say "Enable this account" and another that says "Include when automatically checking for new mail".
