    How do I use my domain name with an e-mail provider?

    I was just about to say Gmail. :D Lucky for you, I've been toying around with Outlook.com recently. They have options to both send and receive mail from external accounts. I routed one of my primary domain based addresses to Outlook.com earlier today. Saturday is a slow day for email but so...

    Thunderbird 45.3.0 stuck in Safe Mode in Windows 7

    That sounds like signature functionality. Tools > Account Settings > Check the "Use HTML" option beside the signature text box and enter your text. You can also use Insert > HTML in Compose window.

    Thunderbird 45.3.0 stuck in Safe Mode in Windows 7

    You have to love computers. Sometimes they just up and work other times you want to throw them out the Window. :) Windows 10 is decent. I'm running in on both my machines. It's a bit of a leap from Windows 7. If you're happy with Windows 7, I'd stick with it. You will still get security patches...

    Why should I use an encrypted email service?

    The way I see it is if you have something sensitive to communicate you do so in person. If geography is an issue you use a real time client with end to end encryption and message expiration. I'm partial to Telegram currently. I'd like to say I care enough about the intrusion on privacy from Big...

    How to discontinue 2 step verification

    I read an article on a blog a couple months ago about having a backup device for 2FA. It's one of those why didn't I think of it things. When you setup 2FA, simply scan the barcode with a second device. Your phone and the second device (tablet, backup phone, etc) will generate the same codes...

    Thunderbird 45.3.0 stuck in Safe Mode in Windows 7

    Theresa is one of the owners here. :) You won't lose data by uninstalling and reinstalling Thunderbird. I have to say never come across Thunderbird stuck in safe mode. Try launching Thunderbird by directly from the Program Files folder and see what happens. Navigate to C:\Program...

    Admin or Master Email

    I'm assuming you want the messages available to the original recipient. The simplest way to do this is with a forward or alias. The terminology depends on your provider. Most email servers will let you setup a forward in addition to a mailbox. Say your mailbox is xyz@somecompany.com. You can...

    Suddenly I am getting filthy, disgusting Emails which are thankfully put into spam by yahoo.

    There's really no way to stop spam or at least it's a futile effort. For every address you 'ban', 100 more pop up. At least the messages are being filtered to your spam folder where you don't even have to look at them. Messages in the spam folder usually delete automatically after some period...

    The easiest way is to is change the phone number tied to your Yahoo account before your disconnect your old phone. If your old phone is already disconnected. I'm not sure how that would work. Hopefully someone will come along with more information.

    Verizon to AOL e-mail address migration problems

    Hi Mr. J, Welcome to EQ! :) I gather you changed your internet provider to AOL from Verizon? How are you keeping your Verizon email account active? Usually once you cancel service the mailbox is closed. Anyhow, since it's an authentication failed error and you're not getting bounce messages...

    Anyone using Inbox by Google?

    I forgot all about that thread. I even participated in it. D'Oh! I still find myself switching back to the familiar Gmail interface from time to time though less often the more I get used to Inbox. I agree any kind of change is hard. So far it's made my email a little less complicated and I'm...

    Free SSL / TLS certificates from Amazon

    I seen that email from Amazon too, I only use S3 for backup storage but is Amazon a valid authority on all the major platforms? I had a cheapo Comodo Rapid SSL certificate on my forum for a while. Android would throw security warning to anyone viewing from an Android device that the security...

    How to cleanup my Gmail inbox

    haha I have a buddy like that it drives me absolutely insane to look at his inbox. I start getting the shakes if I have more than ~20 legitimate (not automated or forum notices) in my inbox. My working email theory is if I read it deal with it. Reply, archive, or delete. I frequently break that...

    I want to unsubscribe from some advertisers which make it almost impossible to unsubscribe

    This is pretty much what I do. If it's a company I've done business with before I'll click through the unsubscribe link. If my email address isn't already filled in (I have several addresses that land in the same Gmail inbox - I'm not going to try and figure out which address it was sent to) or...

    How to turn on 2 step authentication (login verification) in Hotmail

    Sorry for digging up an old thread but I turned 2FA for my outlook.com account a little while back. My biggest pet peeve is you have to use Microsoft's auth app instead of Google Authenicator where all my other 2FA codes reside. Although, I will say on Android being able to approve right from...
