Handy tip folks -- Start your emails with a line feed at the top of the
page. This will separate your content from the blurb corporate email
servers will attach warning your recipients how evil and dangerous you
are.
This is an interesting idea. I've seen mbox files get corrupted (all
mailbox messages in one file, and a line like "From: " is the message
delimiter. Terrible!)
So, blank line might help with that.
I've recently switched to using Maildir format (server *and*
Thunderbird). One message per file.
Thunderbird says it's not fully supported, but it works fine. The
unsupported features are in how Maildir *renames* a file (often also
with moving it via hard linking) to reflect changes in status (Read, etc.)
The Read, replied-to, etc. are stored elsewhere in Thunderbird.
I am considering taking out a URL for my website. If I contract
with a service that provide email, I should be able to download that
through popmail, right?
Unsure what's meant by "taking out a URL" -- registering a domain?
Anyway, POP should be provided by all email services (except Google
apparently), it's literally a single line or 3 of configuration file
entries and is probably enabled by default. So, those that don't offer
it have to remove the feature (as I understand it).
Also, it saves on disk space if the user immediately downloads and
deletes the messages, and that's a significant resource - disk space.
At least, it is in my situation.
