email

On a support site unrelated to email, a user posted a message referencing Thunderbird. Another user then posted a couple of messages dismissing the first user as backwards and stuck in the 1900s (for clarity, the term "MUA" means "Mail User Agent"; that is, a program for reading email): I'm...

I tried a Google search and so far have come up empty. I know Admins at a vBulletin board can read people's PMs using the right hack or plug-in. My question is whether or not an email sent through the board to another member be read by an Admin? I belong to other vBulletin forums, and was...

I found out today that my office phone number is blacklisted as spam! So far, only me.com (from Apple's MobileMe service) seems to be blocking emails. The weird thing is that the emails do not show up in junk/spam folders; they seemed to get blocked at some deeper level. I talked with...

I've recently been asked to look into an old legacy system we have that was written in Visual Basic 6.0. This system uses an external component called Jmail to send out emails. One of the things I've been asked to do is to see if I can set up the system to create calendar events in Microsoft...

So, I live in NC which is now apparently up for grabs in the presidential election. This hasn't happened in my lifetime that I remember and now I get to experience the joy of all the extra "attention" we get from the campaigns. Every day brings a new batch of glossy attack ads in my mailbox...

Got a spam email this morning, What was so different about it? The subject line was "Evacuation process has been started due to radiation leaks at Sizewell B Suffolk Nucklear Power Station". The message was: "BBC, Suffolk - Major Problems have been occured at Sizewell B Nucklear Power Station...

Yahoo! has rejected the merger offer of $44.6-Billion as being too low. http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=4271740 I have one question: WTF?

I administer the mail server at work, so I get to peruse the spam pit occasionally, make sure there are no babies in the bathwater. Here's a gem, similar to the "John of God" thread, almost as pathetic. It seems the amount of this crud going around in email is rising. N-C is selling Gregg...

This morning like a good girl I did a live update from Norton Security and then re-booted. When the computer started up, it gave a bunch of messages about orphaned files (poor little things) and recovering files, and such like. Then I discovered I could not access my email through Outlook. I had...

I don't know what I was thinking. I went looking for 'best dentists' and found this DrOogle site with a lot of recommendations posted. I found a dentist I wanted to try but made the mistake of thinking the "get your appointment by email" was just that. After I stupidly put in my name, phone...

My student group has a website and I have implemented a web form for memberships. Now, on my school server we only have access to html coding and no other server feature. We've moved to our own server and now with the added freedom I'd like to implement some new features with the web form...

Not again. Why me?

I'd be curious to learn the point of view from the conspiracy-skeptical crowd here at JREF regarding what appears to be aspects of a currently breaking conspiracy. The Growing White House Email Conspiracy News links found at the above thread. While the conspiracy-minded are predisposed to...

OK, my computer failed, the power supply fried the motherboard. It isn't going to be worth repairing, so I am replacing. I have rescued most of my data by removing the hard drive, and installing it in a USB "caddy". My problem is that I don't know where Outlook Express stored my Emails, so I...

Allright, so a few months ago I created a PHP script thingy to allow for submitting a message to my email address through a website. I tested it back then, and it worked fine. The script was laying about for a while, and today I finaly decided to implemend it, but alas, it doesn't work. Seems...

I hope it's ok if I post this in the computers sub-forum. It seemed like I would target the audience who might know the most about this. I have a free AOL account through my dad which I almost never use. I drop in periodically to clean out all of the spam which I did recently. Much to my...

Anyone have a view on Sheldrake's experiments on psi and emails? Apparently people can guess who is going to email them, greater than chance: As I recall, his experiments on staring were criticized for poor randomization. Anyone know anything about this?

E-mail is getting to be so unreliable, I thought I'd post this here as well. The schedule got completely munged. :( Ahoy! The summer is upon us, and the Amaz!ng Adventure is getting closer every day. I have some important information for you... I don't have e-mail for everyone who's...

From time to time I'm getting a strange email. The sender (which looks phony IMO) and subject changes, but the form is always the same. The sender is not trying to sell me anything, but I find it strange and annoying. I have no idea what it's about, but I'm curios and would like to know why I'm...

linky linky Now the university agrees that the email was just a joke, and that university policies were not violated. Gee, awfully decent of them to admit that students have First Amendment rights.

ABC News is inviting people to send stories about how global warming has affected them. The Wall Street Journal reports they got this submission (apparently, he doesn't have email yet...):

I was wondering what folks have to say about this. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11371281/site/newsweek/ Frankly my opinion of the Bush administration has gotten so low, that I really thought that it had bottomed out and might actually go up a little. Maybe confirmation biases were leading me...

I'm using Windows XP and am wondering if there is a way using Outlook Express (e-mail) to do the following ... By clicking on a piece of text in the bulk of the e-mail, a file opens. It could be a photo, mp3 or something else I send along. This would not be like an attachement where one sees...

My email notification is too loud. It's much louder for instance than when I'm playing music from my hard drive. So is there a way of turning the volume down but without at the same time turning the volume down for other things like my mp3 player?

My girlfriend recently dropped her AOL account and started one up with MSN. My account is still on AOL (for reasons too boring to go into), and I have noticed some odd delays in her email to me. One time she sent an email to me, and a second one twenty minutes later. The second one got to me...

I'm getting a load of spam emails everyday from an "info@" address. The content is just squiggles. The text after the @ symbol is permanently changing, so the Outlook Express' "Block Message" option doesn't work. Is there a way to block them all at once? This is how my inbox looks like (I've...

Hey there, nerd-erinos. I want to find out who and where an email came from. It appears to be from a "free email" service called "Outgun." The "From" line contains only two initials and the username before the @ didn't turn up on a Google. Any thoughts on how I can get more info? Thanks!

I just received this via email - I don't know what the forum rules are on quoting verbatum from an email are, but it does say to pass it on... anyone else had this? any thoughts?

The recent victory with Walgreens has lead me to email my pharmacy CVS. I sent them basically the same information. I also pointed out that pharmacists are more highly rated for trustworthiness than physicians. Having a book that touts dangerous medical advice even near where the pharmacist...
