Not getting mail from non-default ISP's-newbie question
I am connected to my default ISP by DSL and all is ok there. I cannot however receive mail from my other ISP's via the DSL as I could through Windows. I think it is something to do with the settings in Tools, Settings, Mail Accounts, Edit, Receiving Mail, Authenitication Type (which in Windows was Password). There seems to be no place where I can enter or edit individual ISP passwords. How is that done please. Linz

Instead of the 'Edit' comand, is there a 'New' option. not sure which mail client you are using, but you may need to set up different accounts for each mail address. (note that this has nothing to do with your ISP login.) That way your mail client can check each account seperately without you having to change settings each time... so make sure your default mail is working first, then try to set up new accounts for each mail address. As an aside, some ISPs wont let you check mail with them unless you are logged in to that ISP, eg Paradise.net -- Halley's Comet: It came, we saw, we drank.
I had missed putting 'pop' or 'pop3' in front of the entries Glenn. All sorted now thanks. linz On Sun, 2005-02-06 at 12:05 +1300, Glenn Enright wrote:

Sweet as... :) -- Mr. DePree also expects a "tremendous social change" in all workplaces. "When I first started working 40 years ago, a factory supervisor was focused on the product. Today it is drastically different, because of the social milieu. It isn't unusual for a worker to arrive on his shift and have some family problem that he doesn't know how to resolve. The example I like to use is a guy who comes in and says 'this isn't going to be a good day for me, my son is in jail on a drunk-driving charge and I don't know how to raise bail.' What that means is that if the supervisor wants productivity, he has to know how to raise bail." -- Max DePree, chairman and CEO of Herman Miller Inc., "Herman Miller's Secrets of Corporate Creativity", The Wall Street Journal, May 3, 1988

OK. Here is an example of bad mailing list etiquette. I'm not trying to make a mark out of Glenn but I see this fairly commonly so I thought I'd make a point of it. Glenn supplied a one line reply to Lindsay's post. However he A) didn't clip the previously quoted B) has an 11 line quote in his sig (out weighing his 1 liner by 1100%) So in essence this entire message was noise. Very little signal. I know Glenn was only being polite in responding with his "sweet as", but it probably would have been better to at least trim the noise from his mail or reply off list. I know I'm being pedantic, and I'm sure lots of people will find fault with my own posts. I'm not trying to start a flame war or suggest everyone should have be perfect netiquette. Just try and remember to keep the signal to noise ration high. Regards oliver(a)deeperdesign.com » +64 (21) 41 2238 » www.deeperdesign.com
