Hey Team,
I'm curious as to which email programs you guys use. I have friends who design chips and do international security etc. and they all recommend Thunderbird, which I use and like, but my ISP doesn't support it, so calls for assistance are always met with "the problem's on your end," even when several times it hasn't been.
When you provide me with your choice, could you give me a quick breakdown of why you prefer it?
Any advice is welcome. Thanks.
peace. bubs

are you with shaw? if you are the smtp & pop3 server address should be shawmail.vc.shawcable.net and not just shawmail. shawmail by it's self used to work but not anymore. I can't think of any reason why thunderbird won't work for you please let me know who your isp is, l8er dude

I'm with Telus. It's working on and off. 90% of emails it'll send, but every now and then I get an error message telling me that the server's encountered an error and can't accept a SIZE=# where the # fluctuates and is usually 3 or 4 digits. I've checked the forums but none of the fixes I've found apply to me.
peace. bubs

hmmmmmmmm ok you got me, I never had a problem with telus email and I have used eudora, the bat, mail washer pro and several others to see what bells and whistles I liked best. I never trusted outlook cause the hackers where always trying to hack it lol I think the problem is with telus cause the "work today crash tomorrow" thing does not make sense. or maybe your anti virus or anti spyware is interfering with it some how. sorry Im not being much help am I lol

just tell them you use outlook the programs are so similar im sure you can figure out what they want you to do. Also that way they can't bitch after dealing with crappy ISP companys for so long before i switched to shaw i figured out all the tricks "are you directly connected" "hell yes" "o.. still not getting a signal maybe it us"

I did have to add a patch to my BitDefender virus software. I was hoping the two wouldn't be linked because it'll be so hard to figure out what to adjust. I guess I have to find some time to wander their forums. I'm still getting the message, but I've learned that if I delete some of the message I'm replying to, then it'll send. Go figure.

Actually guys, maybe Hada and the rest of them are right. I checked with my computer guy and he said, sure enough, it was Facebook. But when I took my dog in to the vet, the vet said the problem was Facebook too. And now I'm trailing things off with the girl I've been dating and I have suspicions that that's because of Facebook too. You're on Facebook Synthetic. Did the doctor figure out the cause of your impotence? ;-)
