With Thunderbird, it is possible to same the email as a file on your computer so not relying on the provider Nikki #6552 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken Toll via" <[email protected]> To: "Corinne Curtis" <[email protected]>, "Goons mailing list" <[email protected]> Cc: "Celia Dodd" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, 21 March, 2016 11:55:18 AM Subject: Re: [G] (no subject) I took the same decision as Corrine.

I use Outlook to manage my five e-mail addresses - all very simple - automatically filing each e-mail in the right place - no matter which address I receive it via. I have the mail file, and the archives, backed up on the web as well as on an external drive and a "thumb drive". In that way - I don't need to be on-line to see any of my e-mail, yet it is safe in case of technical challenges (like a house-fire or disk-failure). I am not saying it is any better that any other system - it is just one I have used for about twenty years and I see no reason to change. By the way - my poor little iPhone can't handle all that mail and I don't want to burden the iPad, so it is best stored on the trusty laptop until the Internet becomes fast enough, widespread and cheaper. Oh what fun.

Hi One-Namers everywhere I use Microsoft Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager, which picks up all my mail including my Gmail, sadly since upgrading to Win-10 Office is misbehaving, deleting more that the indicated mail refusing to move mail into various distribution boxes. Excel is misbehaving as well and when editing work in Word or on my Google Blog It may take up to a dozen attempts to highlight a word or sentence or even to get buttons to illuminate Bold Italic etc My Norton Anti-Virus 365 is up to date So what is my problem John P Laws Registrar Laws Family Register Putting Flesh on the Bones of History www.lawsandlawes.blogspot.co.uk -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ken Toll via Sent: 21 March, 2016 11:55 AM To: Corinne Curtis; Goons mailing list Cc: Celia Dodd Subject: Re: [G] (no subject) I took the same decision as Corrine.
