Well, glad we cleared that up. :-) Thanks Caroline. Glad to see you're back too.

Unfortunately, I ended up way over quota and had to delete most of my mail :( I have been poking at today's mail and found this - more on it later. In the last month, I have a. been in Atlanta for two weeks b. help out with my SIL's wedding in Chicago for a few days c. planned (in three days due to b - soooo proud of myself for pulling it off) and taught a cooking class - will forward recipes later. No okra this time - I promise! :) d. was sick for a little over a week - still recovering e. taken over the AR duties as well as my customer service/tech support stuff for the company. Unfortunately, the person who had been "doing" it is (bless her heart) poor at organizing the financial paperwork as well as herself and equally poor at completing such boring tasks as actually entering payments received into the computer. It is the end of the quarter and we need to file our financial statements with the financial information listed on the BACKS OF ENVELOPES!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't make this up. Best yet, we can't fire her because she is the founder's wife and has never done any financial anything before and doesn't want to follow my suggestions because they're too much work. *sigh* Next week, I get to go and clean up the mess. Arrrrghhhhhhh Anyhoo - about this runbox place. Since I am in the biz, I can tell you you get what you pay for with email. Some warning signs I see are the 100MB limit in your mailbox - that is, what, about a days's worth of just Sandbox emailsw? Also, the AUP (listed as a TOS in this case) - be *sure* you read those before you sign up for something like this - prohibits "transmit content that is unlawful, harmful, abusive, threatening, defamatory, invasive, vulgar, obscene, or that contains viruses or other similar harmful programming;" In addition, if you read further down: "Runbox does not make any warranty that Runbox Mail Manager will meet your requirements, or the services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free" Gee, that doesn't sound much better than Yahoo, no? and "Failure to comply with the ToS may result in the termination of your account, with or without notice, upon which incoming email will be returned as "undeliverable". The provisions of Sections 2, 5, 7, 8, 10, and 11 will survive any such termination." That could be an issue if they decide *they* or some recipient - any recipient - doesn't like getting the spicier sandbox fare or anything else that anyone might find objectionable for any reason. Also, since it is in Norway, there is effectively no live tech support - heavens knows how long you will have to wait to get help with something. You can find muuuuuch better out there - don't go for these el cheapo deals unless you know the people personally who are running it. You should expect to pay $10-$20 a month for a reliable, inexpensive email provider. ________________________________ Changes to your subscription (unsubs, nomail, digest) can be made by going to http://sandboxmail.net/mailman/listinfo/sndbox_sandboxmail.net ________________________________ Changes to your subscription (unsubs, nomail, digest) can be made by going to http://sandboxmail.net/mailman/listinfo/sndbox_sandboxmail.net
