all it took for Time warner to fix things was to tell you guys it seems :-)
It's back - the problem was not with THunderbird - the problem was
widespread with TWC in the city - Thunderbird is great and I'd never
change..I got it on recommendations here as the closest to Netscape in
appearance and function.... I don't want to be able to get to my mail
archive "anywhere" I only have one email address (except through
ebay,that gets copied here) it's just right for me and I think much
more private and safer. (I'm totally in plain text, too)
now I need a nap

From the discussions I see here, I get the impression that many people
use a local email program connected to one or another email service.
A few years ago I gave up on email programs. For one reason or
another, they all eventually have problems. Web mail seems to work
with a much greater reliability.
So, I gave up on email programs and read my mail via the web. If I
want to save something and file it locally, I save it to Evernote.
Evernote optionally syncs to a local copy on any or all of your
devices. So, when I want to save an email, it is available on any
device that I've chosen to sync, it's also available via the browser
on Evernote's servers. So I can get to my mail archive from anywhere.
I use more than one email service, but all of my mail is filed in the
one place.
One very nice side-effect of using Evernote. It makes migrating to a
new computer a fast and simple process. The last new laptop was up,
configured and running in less than an hour. Data transfer and
loading programs took very little time. Most of it was spent fighting
with iTunes.
Even if I ever return to using an email program, I'll keep my mail in Evernote.

wondering what Latancy is :-)
MInor problem, the channel changes on TV...ultimately they may make sense
but I'm lost - they are supposed to be sending a large font guide
but I ain't got it yet
Major problem, for me, since yesterday morning I have been unable to
download email. I can SEND email - but I have to go to my web mail, which I
hate on several levels, to read mail. and it is messing with
my filing system. The problem is widespread enough here in NY that
when I tell them in the automatic system on the phone that I have email
problems, it goes right to a "we are working on the problem" recorded
message.
In other news, a friend from California (from Brooklyn, originally) has been
in town because his 100 year old mother passed away and he is prssed
with the chore of getting the apartment cleared out - part of that
was having me come and gather a few things to sell on ebay - it
was an adventure for me because it had been at least 50 years since I'd been
to Coney Island .. his mother lived in one of those high rises
that got so badly hit by SANDY that they were without power for weeks.
and she was in the 16th floor with her full time caregiver. I hate
COney Island, but I went there yesterday morning before going to the
apartment for the second time. a photo or two eventually.
I've also been gathering a friends mail who was out of town and feeding
cats for someone else and working on losing weight - so haven't felt up to
getting into photo chat. and not being able to download the email is
really upsetting... at least, since I never leave email on the server,
I have lots and lots of room for it there before I run out of space.
Funny thing is, Time warner said they were not supporting my original
home page anymore and it would disappear - that was over a month ago
and guess what? its still there.. why are we not surprised?
