[CGUYS] Testing my new Computer Guys email account
For the third or fourth time I have been automatically unsubscribed to this listserv because, the notice says, messages have been bounced back from my Cox email account. Each time before I resubscribed, but this time I have set up a gmail account for receiving listserv messages. This message is a test to see if I can post from the new gmail account to the listserv. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Post successful. I've been using gmail for this for years. Just don't expect to see your own messages until someone replies.

Re: [CGUYS] Testing my new Computer Guys email account
Thanks for the reply. However, I don't see my original message at all. This is the same as different group that I belong to, a Yahoo group, that comes to a gmail account. I can't tell if my message is received unless someone replies to it. John Duncan Yoyo wrote: Post successful. I've been using gmail for this for years.

Re: [CGUYS] Testing my new Computer Guys email account -- P.S.
Actually, I resubscribed to the Computer Guys to the Cox address as well as subscribing for same on the my gmail address, to see if there were any differences. I figure in a few weeks the Cox address will be unsubscribed once again. My question: the gmail account is a POP address; I'm using Thunderbird. When I get messages via Thunderbird from this listserv, what happens to the messages at gmail? Are they saved on gmail, or are they erased when I view them in Thunderbird? The reason that I ask is for an archival purpose: if messages are saved on gmail, I can erase old messages in the Thunderbird folder. John Duncan Yoyo wrote: Post successful.

You can always take a look at cguys.org or one of the archives. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

IMHO, you should go whole hog and give up the POP. At least give it a fair trial for a few months. Lots of advantages, though it takes a bit of getting used to.

My question: the gmail account is a POP address; I'm using Thunderbird. When I get messages via Thunderbird from this listserv, what happens to the messages at gmail? Are they saved on gmail, or are they erased when I view them in Thunderbird? If you set it up as POP the messages are downloaded into your computer. Whether they are deleted from the server depends on your email settings. Why don't you set it up as IMAP. Google lets you do that and that workse better in many cases. The reason that I ask is for an archival purpose: if messages are saved on gmail, I can erase old messages in the Thunderbird folder. Why do that? The list is archived in three places. Two are web accessible and one of those went back to upload all of the available ListServ archives. So it goes way back. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

In Thunderbird account settings [ToolsAccount SettingsServer Settings] check the box Leave messages on server. I do that for accounts that I share with my husband, or to retrieve email away from home. For important email that I want to save [really important like my nieces' first day at school photos that I got today, and keeping track of rebates], I download messages to Thunderbird. I don't trust online email without duplicating it locally. I've had a dozen or so ISPs and email providers disappear since the early 90s, along with my email--some without notice. Do you think GMail will last forever? I hope my Lonely Planet and United TRansnational Republics email lasts as long.
