AT&T emails disappearing

You mean you can't figure out how to have you E-mailer check all servers when you click "Check Mail" ?:-)

Why do you have multiple servers anyway? I have, on occasion had as many as three at once, when customers insisted I have an E-mail account on their crap Outhouse Excuse system... to receive "secure" notifications... that only makes it less secure :-(

200 E-mails arrive at my website mail handler, each address has associated with it a redirection address... me or my wife.

Some addresses have an auto-responder... "Go away, you've been kill-filed."

The rest of mine go to my Cox account. My wife's go to her Cox account.

I retrieve from Cox.

Eudora (v7.1.0.9 now FREE) sorts by original addressee into 29 different "mail boxes" or kills/trashes/junks by various formulae.

Some important E-mails cause an announcing sound. Other mail boxes simply are highlighted showing content... for later reading at my leisure, like the LTspice "digest" distribution.

But we old farts are wa-a-a-a-ay behind on technology. You young bucks have it all figured out :-) ...Jim Thompson

Probably the best option, other than creating your own server, is to have third party DSL over AT&T. Some of them will give you detailed e-mail filtering options. Best of all, you won't have to deal with AT&T/Yahoo any more for support. Reviews can be found at

They can refuse to renew the franchise to operate that system, but Charter is a MSO. Also, Charter would have the choice of selling the existing system to someone else, or wrecking it out. If they chose to wreck it out, no other company can build and operate a new system.

One subsidy is that they don't have to pay for access to the right of way, or pole attachment fees if the city owns the poles.

St. Louis tried to make the seven cable TV companies raise their rates to pay for county wide garbage collection in the early '80s. They also passed an ordinance that outlawed all outdoor TV antennas and satellite TV dishes, including those used by the cable companies & TV stations. That would have forced people to subscribe to cable TV and increase the franchise fees paid by the seven systems. There are still loopholes that let them subsidize things even if it isn't to the letter of the law.

Politicians should only get paid if the budget is balanced, and there is
enough left over to pay them.

You can check multiple accounts with Mailwasher, and it can be configured to open your email software to don't the files you don't delete first. You can whitelist or blacklist domains or addresses, but you need to talk to ATT about removing all filtering from your email account.

What do you mean by "wreck it out"? Why would no one else be able to build a system, once they received the franchise?

That's one thing I hadn't thought of. They must already own the poles (what few there are). The cost was advertised at around $30M, for something like

30K residents. I didn't think $1K/person was a huge bill, considering I pay well over 10% of that per month.

They surely didn't get away with any of that.

AFAICT Thunderbird won't do that. You can set it to auto-check every x minutes though.

As I had explained, I have an old PacBell email address on a Pacific Bell server in Kahleefohniah (yes, it's still there, after two acquisitions). Plus my own domain with a server in Kansas. Plus one at IEEE but that doesn't get much may and I could let that redirect to Kansas because that server always works fine. It's just the one from AT&T that doesn't.

That's exactly what doesn't work. It _is_ set to redirect to the PacBell server, except that this PacBell server then dumps some important emails.

Lucky you if Cox doesn't drop some of them. AT&T does, and we have no Cox out here :-(

Mine show up as a little blurb, announcing the first line so I know what it's about. Except for encypted stuff, of course.

I often like older technology. Cuz it woiks :-)

Right, but then that doesn't solve the problem of old clients sending email to the old Pacbell account. Which would then bounce, and that's certainly not something I'd like to happen.

Can't you set up an auto-responder on the Pac Bell account to tell customers your new address. In my system, anything coming into my website can be redirected anywhere I want. Doesn't have to be Cox. For awhile, as I juggled addresses I used both Cox and GoDaddy as "servers".

Which suggests, look at GoDaddy as a mail server. It's available from anywhere... not just your home provider. ...Jim Thompson

Yes, sure. That's what I do while on the road. I can also do that here and select "leave mail on server" so it spools onto the laptop as well. I could even make it pour into the same email box like everything else. What I don't think I can do, and maybe someone has ideas, is that if I click "get mail" it automagically checks both servers sequentially.

That would be the least desirable method but some day it may have to happen.

But I don't want a fourth server, three is enough already :-)

Well, yeah, I almost knew this answer would come at some point. But when it comes to software I am fairly risk-averse. If something works to a

95% or higher happiness level I keep it.

Easier said than done. It doesn't solve the issue with "legacy writers". Ok, worst case I'll have to do the auto-responder thing. Not nice, but at least they'll receive a notice.

That would have gotten them into trouble with the Federales, prontissimo. Freedom of information and all that.

They were lucky that our neighborhood isn't in St.Louis. People out here wouldn't have any of that. There is a local board that had to learn this the hard way.

If I ever need to change my "from-a-client" E-mail address, I simply send out a change-of-address notice, but keep the old one for a few months.

I've only had to do this once, due to a spam farter (from this group). I've since developed other protection means, plus my provider has, of late, become really mean-ass about pursuing shit-heads and getting them "decommissioned" :-) ...Jim Thompson
