    @Madhur,
    Same is the case in offices, they block POP3 access.

    @Vaibhav and Ram
    Windows mail is really a good option with good features.

    A bit unrelated here, but a doubt, Nirmal.

    You had recommended excerpts in index, on my post…

    I added excerpt tag for index.php, archives, categories.php

    All that is working fine. But what is the “xxx.php” name of the author post pages? ie, page which lists all posts of a particular author?

    Also, is there any other template I have to create and edit to ensure that only excerpt is shown?

    Reply
  19. TechZilo says:

    Solved it, author post pages doesnt need any particular page, just set up archives….

    But is there anything else, other than index, archives, and category.php that I have to place the excerpt tag in?

    @Techzilo,
    I do not have a page where its shows all the posts by a particular author. But If you have such a page, then show only the titles of the post in that page, once you click the link, you can navigate to the post.

    Your theme looks cool – why not add AJAX comments?

    Also, when’s your new theme coming out?

    @TechZilo,
    Ajax comments plugin was not taking up the customizations in comment form, that why removed it. My theme will be available soon.

    I’ve been using Thunderbird for ages now, but many people disagree with the idea of using POP. My friends say they like webmail interface.

    Anyways, I wonder why Mozilla is wasting man hours developing two different email clients. Oh yeah, Thunderbird isn’t Mozilla anymore (MailCo)

    @Thilak,
    Some people like web interface especially if they have used it for long time, they tend to stick on with that.
    Yea, Thunderbird is now MailCo. 🙂

    @Nirmal: True, I’m a kind of “old-school” guy. When I started using the internet, we didn’t have broadband here, and it was pretty expensive. I always found myself comfortable with email clients. But today, broadband is so cheap and affordable, so lot of people prefer webmail over email client.

    Why not Include Windows Live Mail? Remember… Live mail desktop is different to the Windows Mail that comes with Vista.

    I used a lot of e-mail clients, after hours and hours of tests I find usefull these 3 software : poppeeper (portable of course, for my quick-control sessions) ; komamail (portable, light, powerfull and continually improved) ; Outlook Express (to store all data in a common format).

    I have used Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Live Mail, THunderbird and Opera Mail. Personally, I like Thunderbird and Windows Live Mail. Im currently using Outlook 2010 Beta. It’s pretty cool. but I have a PC with nothing but Freeware apps (except Windows) and Truthfully, Thunderbird and Opera Mail is where its at. You can get Windows Live Mail by downloading the Windows Live Suite from Microsoft.

    1) Incredimail records every email address that flows through Incredimail, gathers them and then sells them to anyone willing to pay them for them.

    2) If you have a problem with the program their tech support is terrible and appears to be poorly trained. I have now sent 3 tech support requests and the first two responses told me to do what I told them in my submission that I had already done. It has now been 2 weeks and they have not responded to my third request to help.

    The problem: All of a sudden after a program update 75% of my email was being sent directly to my DELETED ITEMS folder, including addresses that are in my CONTACTS and even addresses in my FAVORITES. They apparently do not know how to fix this problem because they have stopped responding to my requests for help.
