Yet, reading Aliencamel mail on the web complements both POP and IMAP access in many beneficial ways. You can quickly read or send a message, go through your pending emails wherever you are or search for important info without having to set up an IMAP account at your host's computer.
With Every Convenience Comes...
With every convenience seems to come a bit of risk, and in the case of web-based Aliencamel access it is your privacy that may be at stake. Remote images in email messages downloaded when you open them can tell the sender what you did, when you did it and approximately where in the world you were when you read their mail.
Not downloading remote images when you open a message helps, and this is what you can make Aliencamel do for you. After blocking remote images, Aliencamel's web-based access will not download images in emails automatically but only on demand.

To stop Aliencamel web access from loading remote images:
- Go to Aliencamel web site.
