Interestingly enough, I haven't, but that is probably because I have 
mostly Norwegian Yahoo!Mail-addresses.  It will get here soon enoguh, 
no doubt, and a major nuisance it is too.  Just about everything I 
have of email-addresses come in some form of Yahoo!Mail, be it 
Norwegian, Danish, British or US.  This will, of course, greatly 
increase the problem of mailbox-congestion, which I for a time had 
solved by using POP3-access.  I can use my uni-address, of course, 
but that is not satisfactory for the time being, also because I won't 
have that address for more than about a year and a half.  

Luckily I have an alternative, which is still free for Norwegian 
users.  I will not say more just now about the goodness of the 
alternative, as that would be rubbing salt in Y'all's wounds.  ;-)
