[OT] Moving to web mail

2011-05-20 Thread Greg Keogh
Folks, I recently suffered a few events which are hinting that perhaps I should move from using a desktop mail client (Outlook 2007 in my case) to web mail such as Google Mail. Yesterday morning my pst file was corrupted and I wasted 45 minutes finding scanpst.exe (I forgot it's name) and running

Welcome to the 21st century Greg :P Security - From memory, it's possible for presumeably select google employees to see your email. I recall a new article about an employee who got in trouble for doing so. I suspect they take it seriously as they now get audited every two years for privacy

G'Day Greg, David Connors helped me out a while back to move some friends over to free version Google Apps and they are loving it. The documentation was great and easy to follow. I used the free tool to import the stuff from PST but had issues with attachments. I read somewhere the paid version

You can also just pump the mail directly from the mail server into gmail with the paid version. I was hoping that was possible with the free version. A couple of weeks ago I found some kind of Add Account option in Gmail to add a POP3 server, but for the life of me I can't find it tonight.

I've been on Google Apps for a number of years now. I've got about 4 domains plus my old gmail account all coming into my GoogleApps account. My only regret is not setting up the main domain as my main email account. Its a very minor complaint (basically means I log in with my primary domain which

Been using Gmail virtually since it went live. All my email eventually gets channelled there one way or another. On the desktop I'm accessing the POP via Thunderhead and have it set so that it doesn't delete the mail on the server. Gives me a local copy for when

I used to get 400 spams per day for a year or so, then I discovered one of my ISPs (pacific.net.au) had a spam filter that was off by default. After activation my spam count went down to about 20 per day and is hovering around that figure ever since. You'd think that about 17 years after spam was
