I have MailWasher on my kids' desktops, but they don't use it. So far, they aren't on any spam lists yet (there is hope for the world!) But my daughter was complaining the other night that her email "wasn't there," by which she meant that the email she had read while using a different computer was no longer on the server.

Kids are usually using other people's computers, and often logging on in many places. At school, they have computer labs where they may use a different machine every day. And they have one email account at home, one at school, and in my daughter's case, one through the scout troop's website. They like to read their mail as often as possible, but want to save it where they can keep it. I don't know much about the connections gaming devices use, but could there be a MailWasherKids that would run on their Gameboys and be attached via USB to whatever computer they were using? Kids would download their email to the memory on the Gameboy until they got home and put anything they wanted to archive on their own computer's memory.

If their computers support a memory key saving to that will work fairly well for moving data around.

No idea about the games storage options.

The best way to insure that the kids use MWP is with a MWP proxy mode. In that mode they would not even be required to check with MWP before downloading msgs to the client. Instead MWP would be working transparently and only msgs cleared by MWP Spam Tools would be downloaded.
