Microsoft have already told users of Outlook Express that they will no longer be supported. Their only upgrade path within the MS space is to upgrade their whole OS to Vista so that they can get Windows Mail (I'm not counting Live Mail, as it's a Web app). It sounds like a bit much to have to upgrade your whole OS just to get a new mail client. The obvious solution is to move to Thunderbird instead :) -- "People confuse 'security' and Trustworthy Computing." - Microsoft Senior Vice President Craig Mundie, 2002-02-20 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
Please help me to understand commands for the Gnome-VFS-Obexftp program.
Dear UBUNTU People, This email's subject says it all: Please help me to understand commands for the Gnome-VFS-Obexftp program This is a bit complicated so I'll try to get my facts correct. *SMILE* I will happily supply more technical details as requested. (As long as I myself can work out what you need to know) ( I'm still only a newbie at Linux UBUNTU ... however, I love it. I think that UBUNTU is superior to M$ Windows in so many ways!!! ) I'm trying to install software which will let me use a small device called a "USB Bluetooth Dongle" (which I currently have plugged into one of my computer's USB ports) communicate with my new SAGEM my411x mobile phone. My (limited) understanding is that I should be able to use software on my pc to communicate with my SAGEM mobile phone and exchange phone numbers, pictures, video, and music etc. This sounds like a good thing to do. Some time ago I posted a message about me wanting to do this and someone recommended the "gnome-vfs-obexftp" program. To cut a long story short... I think that I have correctly install the software, however *I don't know how to use it*. This is a website about the "gnome-vfs-obexftp" program: http://blogs.gnome.org/jamesh/2007/01/03/gnome-vfs-obexftp-01-released/ after downloading the files and having problems understanding what to do, I decided to email both of the 2 authors of the program Mikael Hallendal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Richard Hult <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mikael kindly replied to my email with this message: Mikael said the following in an email to me> I'm sorry but I have to admit that I can't remember the steps needed to get that installed (or where to put the GnomeVFS plugins). If you are on Ubuntu Linux you should be able to simply install it with 'apt-get install gnome-vfs-obexftp' Sorry that I can't be of more help but I have not touched that code in two-three years. http://pewtas.googlepages.com (or) http://tinyurl.com/yuyejs (please visit my free website and let me know what you think about it.) -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au

Microsoft's >>replacement for both apps is Windows Live Mail and can be installed on XP or Vista. You are right Martin and my apologies. Although, Windows Live Mail is under heavy development at current by the same development team that brought Vista Windows Mail. And knowing Microsoft's old (well-known) habits of reusing old source code, I suspect Windows Live Mail for the desktop will be built on the same foundations of Windows Mail anyway. So I don't think the end result will differ much anyway. Just a few different functions and UI tweaks.
