Aha-erlebnis
December 24th, 2003
Do you know what an Aha-Erlebnis is? It's one of those moments when you say "but of course! That's the solution! Why haven't I thought of that on my own?" I just had one reading this article.
I have a desktop at work, and a computer at home, and I like to check the same email boxes at both. At the moment, I'm in the routine of "leave messages on server" at work, and "don't download messages automatically" at home, but this still gives problems. For example, if I receive an email at home that I need again at work, I can't get at it.
So what if.... I could put FireBird on such an USB dongle, or at least have it store its inboxes there. My worries would be over. Keeping track of my RSS feeds would also be much less of a hassle.
Would it be too late to change my order to Santa?
April 21st, 2008 at 10:17 PM Have you heard of IMAP? Or, even, a web-based email service?
April 21st, 2008 at 10:17 PM Sure. But my provider doesn't provide IMAP, and its web-based email is really not for every day's use. Hence my search for an alternative.
April 21st, 2008 at 10:17 PM Yeah... when I began my search for an email provider, IMAP was at the top of my list... I was actually surprised at how many didn't offer IMAP.
