IMAP and subscribing

2009-04-09 Thread Aidan Gauland

Hello,

 As my father has already said, we've just switched ISPs.  Now I'm using IMAP 
so I don't have to download all of my E-mails (now I only have to download the 
headers of messages in threads that I don't read, instead of everything), but 
I now need to make folders on the server for sorting my mail as before (with 
POP); when I was looking at my mailboxes through the webmail interface, I came 
across an option for each mailbox called subscribe.  This one of the many 
things for which Google is useless.  What does this option do?  There's also 
the same option in Thunderbird (my mail reader).


 Or, if anyone knows off the top of their head how to sort E-mail into 
separate folders using Thunderbird, then just tell me that.


Thanks,
Aidan


Re: my video card is possessed

2009-04-09 Thread Aidan Gauland
 Ok, I've just tried the nv driver with a huge desk fan, on high, pointed at 
the graphics card heat-sinks.  I also tried detaching my system fan from the 
case and doing the same thing with it.   No diffreence; it still freezes after 
a little while.  It's a low-end video card (see attached file for full 
information), and has no fan to fail.  Is there a way to test the card for 
heat damage (or any kind of subtle damage)?


 And, John, how could the motherboard battery affect the video?

Thanks,
Aidan

Sounds to me like the fan's failed...
If it is an older computer doing strange things it might be the battery on the 
motherboard. It wouldn't hurt to replace it.

Re: skype

2009-04-09 Thread Chris Hellyar
My two bits would be that the new version is annoying on windows..  Why
bother? :-)

It does a couple of annoying things like not scrolling properly if
you've got chat history enabled...

I'd wait a few weeks and the first lot of patches will be out...

Apart from that, it doesn't work in wine on Ubuntu 8.10, I tried and
gave up after copying 20+ files off an XP machine chasing errors
messages.

Cheers, Me.
