How about placing a link to ADT's front page on the page that comes up after you've logged out of My ADT Mail?

Good suggestion.
I'll look into it.

I was hoping it could be just like this page - with the column of choices that appears on the left.

It can be but I'll save that for the eventual upgrade of the software. There's a new version that I need to install but am holding off until I get some other stuff done. It's a lot of work for me to upgrade the mail server package. With each upgrade I have to re-edit all of the templates manually. It's a but of a pain.
BTW, the new version has full pop3 support for your my.adt mailbox. You'll be able to fetch your my.adt email through your preferred email client.

No big deal. I hope you are not fretting about it.
Now that is interesting! I'll have to re-think it, but that may very well be the reason that I keep my ADT email on forward.
Thanks for this news.
Side note regarding present subscription to threads for email notification of new posts:
Is clicking the new link "Subscribe to topic" now the only way to subscribe? There used to be a check box that one could tic on when posting. Now it seems that one must post, wait for reload, click on subscribe, that opens a new window, then close that new window.
Don't get me wrong - I sure do like having the option to subscribe to any thread without having to post in it.
That's nice.
But unless I've overlooked something, there are lot more steps involved now if one is posting in a particular thread. .

Is that a time consuming thing for you to add back in?

There is exactly one extra step. And it's the same amount of effort as clicking a checkbox. You can even click the subscribe link before making the post, it's just that flexible.
I could have it in both places but I wanted to force users to realize that there is a new system in place. I also thought that having both mechanisms would simply confuse people. If I didn't remove the checkbox on the posting page many/most members wouldn't realize that there's a new, more flexible topic system in place and would continue posting to topics in order to subscribe to them when they really have nothing to add to the discussion.

?
Clicking a checkbox is one click - basically part of the post.
Here, now - what I see is what I described.
It used to be that upon clicking on "Post New Reply", both the post was done, and subscribed.
Now, after clicking on "Post New Reply", I wait for the page to reload same as before, but I'm not done as I was before. Then click on Subscribe, get a new page loading, wait for it to load, then close it. Those are extra steps.
Same as any time. Yes, it is nice.
Oh, ok. Makes sense.
Got'cha.
No problem.
As time goes by, after everybody gets used to/learns about it, perhaps then you can reconsider putting the other option back in too.
Thanks
