Wednesday morning surprise. Couldn't log in there. Domain expired!

Up until a few days (or a week?) ago, my LastPass extension (in FF) used to show an asterisk in the login fields. I would click on that and select the Scryptmail information and it would log me in from there. But now LP is not showing that asterisk. And even manually going into my LP icon, then...

I was explaining IMAP to a relative and she had a question I can't yet find an answer to: For those who prefer not to have any email content stored locally on their computers (for whatever reason: security, privacy, etc.), is it possible, nevertheless, to have a desktop client as a "mail...

My limited understanding of email formats (plain text vs. html) is that the former does not 'impose' font styles, sizes, etc. on the recipient, whereas the latter does. (Whether this is only mostly true or entirely true, I don't know.) Now, if I want to send an email to a friend who has old...

I don't know whether you'd call it the navigation bar or an 'action' bar or what, but for months I've not been able to see the links properly using FF. E.g. the "new" link (for composing a new message) appears as follows (when I hovered the cursor over it): And, as you can see (or not) the...

How to send an email: 1. Depending on your email client, you will need to click the button saying something like "Compose," “New,” etc. 2. A compose screen will appear either in the same tab or in a new one (or even a new window). 3. If you have previously set up your email service...

Hi, Ray I'm having trouble marking the forums as read. Whenever I try I get this error message. Perhaps others get this, too ?? Btw, it seems to have started when some change was made to the link bar (where I click on Quick Links). I used to get a drop-down menu and now the links appear on...

Hi, I'm curious just why there are so many Hotmail accounts being locked and/or hacked. I realize there is a certain degree of limitation (vulnerability ?) with Live's security features (e.g only 16 character passwords allowed as compared to other services that allow well over 20; no special...

FWIW, here's an interesting article at LifeHacker regarding how to be most productive in dealing with email. For any interested, the article has a link to the full study (.pdf -- which I haven't read). The article also references an earlier one that has some interesting points. Maybe this...

Hi, Over the years I've heard good and bad things about AOL mail. One thing I've been wary about -- esp. since Firesheep came out -- is AOL's lack of full-session SSL/HTTPS for their webmail. Today while doing a search, I came across this page where in the author's update (at the bottom of...

Hi, Ray I just thought I'd thank you for your PM yesterday. :thanks: (I'm only too glad to help, despite my very limited knowledge & experience.) I tried replying via PM but even after 3 attempts, my message apparently wasn't sent. At least, it's not showing up as a 'sent' PM. I tried in...

Hotmail Users Report Blank Inboxes | News & Opinion | PCMag.com And a long Windows Live thread: What happened to all my saved emails!?!?!

Death Match: FB vs. Gmail ? I wonder what the upcoming release of FaceBook's email service (aka Gmail Killer) will mean for Gmail's popularity. I never use FB, but for the zillions of people who do, will this mean a plunge in Gmail's userbase ? Facebook’s Gmail Killer, Project Titan, Is...

Hi, From an EMD discussion: this blog entry (about Hotmail features) includes in the comments a discussion of SSL and users there are saying they are able to use full time https access. See the comments there for url's and issues they are having. Better late than never. :)

Hi, I have an account with PolarisMail and they offer use of 6 (!) different interfaces. One of them is Horde which at first glance I really didn't like, but now I'm trying to get to know it better. One immediate issue arose: Does it auto-save drafts ? I started a test message and even...

Hi, I was perusing the feedback page at Yahoo (for their beta service) and noticed this link in the comments section, which I thought any interested in SSL might want to look at. I haven't read the article yet, but it seems Gmail rates somewhat high.

Hi, As long as I've been flapping my gums recently asking questions, I thought I'd go ahead and ask another one or two. Pardon my long-windedness, but I thought since these questions are related, I'd ask them together. :) 1. Would it be correct to say that a Google Apps user is (perhaps)...

Hi, I thought I'd ask whether a Gmail user should be concerned about the whole privacy/terms situation. I'm not talking so much about the scanning of mails by computers for ad purposes, nor about their vague, "whenever we get around to it, we'll delete it" data-retention policy. Rather, I'm...

Hi, I know Yahoo allows free users to create one extra address (alias) and recently I tried to do this, but I did so thinking that I could use that alias as my primary Yahoo address (for Yahoo message boards, etc.) and then use the main address/username for logins only. That's the way I do...

Hi, I'm new here and the welcome message said for a new user to post a new question in this forum (if I wasn't sure where else to go with it), so here it is.... :) I have a question about full-session SSL/https for webmail users. I don't know much about it all, but from what I...
