Re: MAIL BOX

2019-11-22 Thread Neil Houghton 
Hi Jewels,

Glad you have at least got your email working again. Yes, it is worth taking 
your time to work out a good email set-up before jumping in and changing 
things. I am by no means an expert in email systems except what I have had to 
learn as I went along - guided as we all have been by the generous 
contributions of others on the list - Daniel & Ronni obviously come to mind 
here.

Having said that, I am a great believer in trying to work out how things work 
and, sometimes more importantly, how they go wrong!

A couple more thoughts/comments:


In your reply to Daniel you said "I will hang on until I get my new MacPro, 
whenever they become available and will probably have the two machines set up 
as POP." -  I have found this to be a workable solution in the past PROVIDED 
you have a plan as to how/when each computer downloads messages from the server 
 and how/when messages are deleted from the server. It seem to me there are two 
basic approaches to this:

•   You have a designated "main" email computer which downloads all mail 
and on which you sort/organise all your saved mail and the other computer(s) 
are secondary and only used to "catch up" on new emails when you are away from 
your "main" computer - this is the approach which I used and so all the 
secondary computers were set to "leave a copy of each message on the server" 
and "Delete copies from the server - Never"  whilst on the primary computer 
"leave a copy of each message on the server" was unselected - so the messages 
were downloaded and immediately cleared from the server. This used to work fine 
until I was overseas for a while, using the secondary computer, and found that 
the server quota was being exceeded.
•   You want both/all computers to be "equals" and have all emails on them 
- in which case you would set all computers to "leave a copy of each message on 
the server" and then set a suitable period to delete copies from the server 
(you mentioned 1 month) - your main considerations here would be:
i) Make sure each computer accesses the mail server frequently enough to catch 
messages before they are deleted
ii) Make sure that any months worth of email can be accommodated by your server 
mails quota (this ruled out this approach for me)
iii) Do all your email sorting/filing separately, but consistently on all 
computers (I would have found this challenging!) 




You say " On checking, it appears to change an IMAP to a POP account is rather 
laborious and difficult." - I suppose it depends how you look at it. The first 
thing when talking about "email accounts" is to distinguish between the server 
side setup and the email client. You actual email "account" - as in the email 
address is just that - an address that points to your email account on your 
email server. POP and IMAP are just 2 different ways to access that account 
with 2 different rationales - the POP rationale assumes that you will download 
all your emails and then manage them on your computer whilst the IMAP rationale 
assumes that all your emails are retained, sorted and generally managed on the 
server - your computer email client (or webmail session) is just the gateway to 
do this.

You can think of IMAP as an email equivalent to Dropbox - it keeps everything 
in sync between computers/devices - actions performed on one device are synced 
to the cloud (your email server) and then on to the next device which connects 
to (syncs with) your account.

You have already experienced some of the problems associated with mixing POP 
and IMAP access across different computers however changing from POP to IMAP 
need not be "rather laborious and difficult." provided one has a clear plan of 
action. I will give you a few thoughts based on my own experience. I actually 
use MS Outlook as my email client rather than OSX Mail - so some 
details/procedures may be slightly different, but the principles are the same.

•   In your email client you do not "change" an account from POP to IMAP, 
you create a new IMAP account and then delete the old POP account.
•   If you use email "rules" to sort and organise your email (I have 
multiple email accounts and use rules a lot) be aware that your old POP rules 
will no longer work if/when the POP account is deleted. You can set-up new IMAP 
client rules - but they will only be effective when the computer that the rules 
are set-up on is accessing the email server. The other option is to set-up 
Server rules - which work on the emails as they arrive at the server, 
irrespective of whether any computer client is actually accessing the account. 
This way you do not need to worry about setting up the same client rules on 
different computers.
*   Deleting the POP account can result in the loss of emails associated 
with that account - that is emails which have been downloaded to your computer 
and are no longer on the server - so you need to ensure that you have already 
filed or otherwise saved these

Hi Rod,

 

Hmmm, “Multi-function data line” seems to mean different things to different 
people but typically seems to be a connection cable & multi adaptor set-up to 
replace a number of different individual cable configurations. If you feel you 
have the need for one, I would suggest doing your own search to find a 
reputable seller!

I guess the salient points are:

 
The domain was registered in January, this year 
The domain registrar is Chengdu west dimension digital
There are no contact details for the domain registration
The domain points to the IP address 23.227.38.32
This IP address seems to be associated with a Canadian organisation “Shopify 
Inc” 
 

Whilst they COULD be a legitimate online vendor, personally, I would steer well 
clear of them or any other organisation with this level of transparency!

 

 

Just my thoughts  ;o)

 

 

Cheers

I have not seen it.
But unless you know more about it, leave it alone.

Re: Printer to NBN router

2019-11-22 Thread Neil Houghton 
Hi Jennifer,

 

You asked this question back on the 14th and Ronni suggested this site:

 

https://crowdsupport.telstra.com.au/t5/Modems-Hardware/Canon-printer-not-wirelessly-connecting-to-new-TELSTRA-router/td-p/541786

 

which shows quite a few people having similar problems and a couple of 
solutions that worked for some:

 

Solution 1)

I just got connected today with nbn and having same issue connecting to the 
printer. Then i worked out what i was doing wrong,. Try the following if you 
havent yet.

 

Go to wlan setting on printerlook for where it says to connect access 
point. You then have to hold the "Pair" Button on front of the modem while you 
sel ok on the printer. Hold the "Pair Button to printer says all is connected.  
Hope this helps.

 

Solution 2)

had the same problem with my canon printer.

Here's what I did.

On the printer I scrolled through and clicked on WLAN

then wireless Lan setup ok

then red stop button for other setup option

then other setup ok

then Advanced set up ok

I was then able to select my Telstra access point ok

then the security settings there was only one setting in white letters so I 
scrolled down to that ok

then I put in the password that was on my new gateway and then ok and then the 
problem was solved.

I can print and scan to my heart's content.

sorry this is not very technical but if you follow the steps it will work and 
you don't have to reinstall your rpinter.

 

 

I’m not sure if you missed Ronni’s suggestion or if you have already tried all 
these with no success?

 

HTH

 

 

Cheers

 

 

Neil
