            Re:   Juno Online Services, Inc. Registration Statement on
                  Form S-3 for 2,008,303 Shares of Common Stock

Ladies and Gentlemen:

            We have acted as counsel to Juno Online Services, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the sale by certain selling
stockholders of up to 2,008,303 shares of the Company's Common Stock (the
"Shares") pursuant to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the
"Registration Statement") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").

            This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements
of Item 16 of Form S-3.

            We have reviewed the Company's charter documents and the corporate
proceedings taken by the Company in connection with the issuance and sale of the
Shares. Based on such review, we are of the opinion that the Shares are legally
issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

            We consent to the filing of this opinion letter as Exhibit 5.1 to
the Registration Statement and to the reference to this firm under the caption
"Legal Matters" in the prospectus which is part of the Registration Statement.
In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category
of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act, the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder, or
Item 509 of Regulation S-K.
