Re: [H] Really simple email questions?
Then I must be old school too as I am still using Eudora. :-) Regards..Gary At 01:48 PM 7/12/2010, It was written by DSinc that this shall come to pass: OK. I've followed this LIST for years. I am still confused about EMAIL. I know who my current ISP is. I know that they pass EMAIL off to; Yahoo.com. I know that Yahoo.com has their 'own' restrictions. ISP: Bellsouth.net Upstream: ATT.net (???) Mail provider: Yahoo.com I only do EMAIL via [what I believe is] a local EMAIL client, Thunderbird. I think this is now Eudora of my past. Eudora does NOT work locally any longer anyway. I do not like to do EMAIL via WEB PORTAL's. This LIST has convinced me of a variety of security-related reasons to believe what I now believe. Am I still very Old-School? Best, Duncan

Re: [H] Really simple email questions?
Then I must be 'old-school' too. I use Tbird to pull down email from 3 gmail accounts, 2 hotmail accounts, and, uh, yeah, one cox.net account. The only problem I run into is that hotmail keeps threatening to delete my accounts because I don't 'log-in'. Steve On 7/12/2010 2:48 PM, DSinc wrote: OK. I've followed this LIST for years.

Re: [H] Really simple email questions?
I don't think that's very old school...I'm writing this from a local program (the Apple Mail.app on OSX). Local still has its strengths! I did, however, stop using my ISP email address. That way when I change ISPs I don't have to worry about changing my email address as well. Even though I have a gmail address, I rarely login to the Gmail web interface.

Re: [H] Really simple email questions?
I use a local email client exclusively at home too, but do use web-based email when at work or traveling, etc. As long as Ad-Block is on, it's bearable, and I have to admit, it's handy at times :) I have everything set to not delete except on my main Mac's local email client. So once I access and download email from that 'puter, it does delete items older than 24 hours from the email server.. Cheers..
