Comment
I worked at Juno from 1999-2001 and filled in a few blanks from memory. http://www.untd.com/history.html has some dates. If there's anything that doesn't make sense, let me know and maybe I can fill in more. Jkonrath 21:05, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Out of date?
I've been a Juno user since the 1990s and much of this article is out of date. Juno no longer provides free E-mail service except via Web on the http://webmail.juno.com page. For $10/year you can use the old proprietary offline Juno mailer as discussed, or MSOE, Eudora, Thunderbird or other POP3 standard mailers. The mail servers still serve the proprietary mailer, but new users by default use whatever standard mailer is already set up on their computer, usually MSOE.

The spam blocker in Version 5 of the Juno mailer is indeed ineffective, and no third party spam filters are made for any version. However, the servers filter spam, and when some gets through, users can forward it to a spamdesk to improve the filtering. Users of POP3 standard mailers can use whatever spam filters they install.

New to Wiki, I don't know how to revise an article according to Wiki style standards but I spotted this one and it just cried out for an improvement. More information can be had from the independent Juno_accmail mailing list at http://freelists-180.iquest.net/list/juno_accmail or by writing to me at jim.henderson@juno.com.

The highest available build of Juno 5.0 is build 49, according to them. Bobjersey 02:48, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Complaints
I found this section to be a little colloquial and accusing. But I'm no expert so I'll leave it up to someone who knows more about spam to fix. Mbisanz 19:45, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I second that, Wikipedia is not a forum. It is not a complaint database. The article as a whole violates WP:NPOV, many parts of the article are written like an anti Juno advertisement. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 00:50, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Juno United Online logo.png
Image:Juno United Online logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

60 day expiration & deletion
"Your Juno email account has just been reactivated. Your account had been in an inactive status because you did not access your Juno email for more than 60 days...

PLEASE REMEMBER - If you do not sign into your Juno email at least once every 60 days, your account will become inactive and:
 * All new incoming email will be returned to sender
 * You will lose all email in your inbox and other folders.

Once it is deleted due to inactivity, this information cannot be recovered so be sure to sign into your Juno email at least once every 60 days."

After over a decade of faithful service, they have now discarded all my years of saved emails. Thus, the End of Juno. -96.233.20.116 (talk) 20:22, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
