One more vote for Eudora. :-) -- Ryan P.S. my mailbox on my server (prior to the return of my laptop) was 38MB after 2 months. I found this in the Seattle Times today. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/personaltechnology/134539584_ptmacc21.html Several readers also noted their large Entourage X mail databases had corrupted as well. A suggestion to one of them fixed it: While starting up Entourage X, hold down the Option key. Select Advanced Rebuild from the menu that appears. Go away for a long time, hours perhaps for databases over 50 megabytes and most of a day for a 500 MB file. When the operation is finished, immediately quit Entourage X and restart your machine from the Apple menu. If you fail to restart, Entourage may not correctly read the rebuilt database. If this rebuild fails, and you find e-mail is missing - in my case, everything before November was gone - dive down into your Home folder and...snipped Back up these databases before performing the rebuild option, or you'll be sorry! Sorry indeed. After I got done laughing my head off, I said a small prayer for Glenn. Yeah, I'll wait a few hours while enturdage grinds up my email.

If your clients are having that many problems with Entourage, making you that much money, then they are doing something seriously wrong, or you maybe you are if you are the maintainer. All email clients are pretty much equal, and each one fits a niche. You just have to decide which one is the right one for you and your situation. To try and dissuade someone (even your clients?) because of an opinion you harbor is very unprofessional. I have used Eudora for over a year. I have used Entourage for longer.

Re: .Mac
Bruce Johnson writes: Dan Knight wrote: It amazes me that Apple thinks the same people who bitch about no discount for upgrading from OS X 10.1.x to 10.2 wouldn't also bitch about paying $100 -- or even $50 -- to keep an email account in service when it had been free. Actually, Apple doesn't think that. The number of people bitching and whining about paying for the OSX 10.2 upgrade were all pretty much the same cheap b**d's who were kvetching about iTools and .Mac. My point exactly. Over 2 million iTools users and about 2.5 million Mac OS X users were affected by these twin bone-headed decisions. Apple has sold a bucketload of 10.2 boxes (100K their opening weekend at $129 per, that's revenues of 12.9 million right there, easily surpassing the 5M they've gotten from .Mac so far.) So only about 4-5% of X users jumped on Jaguar -- about the same percentage willing to pay to retain their mac.com email address. Think about it. Apple got 4-5% of iTools users to sign up for .Mac at $50/year, putting $5 million in Apple's coffers and generating untold ill will. I'm guessing the value of the ill will outweighs the value of the income. Only among the people kvetching about it, and if they're too cheap to pay $50 /year for the service, if it means that much to them, they're certainly too cheap to be buying new Macs. I bought a new Mac in January 2001 -- the third new Mac and fourth new Mac OS computer in over a decade as a Mac user. I'm not too cheap to buy a new computer when there's a reason to do so, nor am I too cheap to buy an OS upgrade or pay for .mac if the benefits outweigh the costs. It seems that 90% of iTools users and OS X users have not yet decided that the cost of .mac and/or Jaguar provides sufficient benefits. By offering more affordable options (email only accounts, Jaguar upgrade packages), Apple might have doubled or tripled the number of people willing to upgrade. As an Apple stockholder and mac.com email user, I wish Apple had given the two million plus iTools users a $10/year email only option. At that price I and maybe 500,000 others would stick with it, adding $5 million more to Apple's bottom line and creating good will -- Apple, a company that listens. That would have probably been a better option than cutting them off completely, but I wonder if it would have been cost-effective. Considering how many companies (Microsoft, for instance) offer free email, I'm sure Apple could find a way to do it for more than nothing but much less than $49. I love my Macs and both types of Mac OS, but I'm not particularly pleased with the way Apple runs their business. They show a low regard for their customers when they offer a new version of the OS with no upgrade option and turn a free service many had used primarily for email into a high cost service. ROFL!!! Go buy a peecee and see how most computer users are treated. What a bunch of crap. That's like my complaining how long it takes to get a Leica repaired (because they so often have to go back to Germany) and you telling me to be glad it's not a cheapo Kodak Advantix camera. What in the world does the way Microsoft, Dell, or Gateway treat their customers have to do with the way Apple should treat theirs? I should be happy because Apple tries to screw me less? Moreover, if you don't get on the wagon now, you're gonna be off any upgrade pricing at all in the future, with MS. On the other hand, the new Apple upgrade policy tells me that I'm better off sticking with 10.1.5 as long as I can and then paying for a full-cost upgrade to 10.3 or 10.4 somewhere down the road, since Apple apparently isn't ever going to offer discounted upgrades to Mac users. Maybe these aren't concerns for iCEOs with $10 million jets and his board of directors, but for those of us in the trenches who scrape to buy RAM upgrades, bigger hard drives, new Macs every 2-5 years, and software updates, $49 for .mac and $129 for Jaguar is real money. -- Dan Knight, president, Cobweb Publishing, Inc. http://cobwebpublishing.com http://lowendmac.com http://digital-views.com http://digigraphica.com http://lowendpc.com http://reformed.net As for Unix being 'inflexible,' 'expensive,' and 'complex,' we feel those are terms much better suited to the closed and proprietary world of Windows.

Note from Mom
As noted in the FAQ, you can only post from, change mode using, and unsubscribe with the exact email address you used to subscribe. We also send out an automated email stating this when you subscribe. If you are having subscription problems -- and as often as not the current mail server seems to botch things -- do the following: 1. Address your email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], not to any other address. Do not post your request to the list. 2. Be sure to mention the name of the list(s) you're on. With the current list management program, I have no way of telling without checking all 30-some lists -- and I don't have the time to do that. 3. Let me know exactly what address you are subscribed with. That's the address the postings or digest are being sent to. 4. Tell me exactly what needs to be done: switch me to digest mode, delete my old address and change my subscription to a new one, take me off your #%$#@% list, etc. 5. If I have to email you with questions, be sure to send all of the above information with your reply. I get hundreds of emails daily and dozens just to the listmom address. I will not remember the details -- make it easy so I don't have to ask for the details and wait for yet another email exchange. Things are moving very slowly on creating our own email program. I'm haven't been working at Low End Mac full-time in a year, and I've increased my hours at the camera shop to help offset the continuing drop in income from lowendmac.com. I've also got a second half-time job starting sometime in October, so we need to handle things efficiently.

Grr and a nicely picked out four letter word are what I have to say to Iomega. Note to self: Don't buy another Iomega product. While I love Zip, I've never been happy with any of Iomega's Jaz products. Too expensive for a drive/cartridge combo that gives you too little space and accesses too slow. You may find that you'll have much better luck if you use a drive that doesn't require an adapter, as well. In particular, USB-SCSI has always been dicey at best. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
