from my experience, corporate IT takes pre-emptive actions and the target audience of the article happened to be members of the corporate circle. so these IT departments would have locked down most of suggested methods even before they were to be tried.-lanux128 (September 09, 2008, 08:21 PM)
it's must have been a slow day at WSJ's Tech and this article is just meant to create some rustle up discussions among IT cliques.
40hz,
You might like to compare Poppy with Magic Mail Monitor, though MMM's focus leans more towards deleting spam. Seems reliable to me, on Win98 at that-rjbull (September 11, 2008, 04:02 AM)
)This is my point of view too. I believe that if you've got sufficient redundancy (good backup system), these things (loose all emails/files etc.) should absolutely not happen.-Armando (September 11, 2008, 12:13 AM)
I'm nowhere near being that confident.
So, I'm not advocating printing EVERYTHING, just those messages that you really want to keep.

A design goal of Poppy was to keep it as simple as possible. Only the most essential features were added to Poppy to make it easy to use without all kinds of bells and whistles. This approach also contributes to the fact that Poppy is small and will not interfere with your day to day work.
Initially, the only purpose of Poppy was e-mail notification. Since the introduction of version 4.x of Poppy. I decided to add more advanced features. Poppy is still very small however and the new features do not interfere with it's main purpose, which is still be e-mail notification.
Here is a list of the features of Poppy:
* Checks multiple POP3 accounts for new mail.
* Uses the taskbar icon to indicate that mail is waiting.
* A configurable interval between checks of the POP3 account.
* A a convenient popup menu to reach all functions and configuration.
* Play a sound when new mail has arrived on any account.
* Play a different sound for each account.
* Execute an external program when new mail has arrived.
* Show a non-interfering popup window when new mail has arrived.
* Automatically hide the popup window, without user intervention.
* Always notify or only when new mail has arrived.
* Always notify or only when mail from a friend has arrived.
* Dialog to display 'From' address and subject of each message.
* View the headers of an e-mail message.
* Preview the source of an e-mail message.
* Delete e-mail messages from POP3 servers.
* Select and/or unselect messages based on selection rules.
* Only notify based on the selection rules.
* Check e-mail headers against an anti-SPAM DNS blacklist.
* Option to automatically delete SPAM messages
* It is small and easy to use.

Seriously, cool little story, 40hz, thanks for sharing it with us. FWIW, I think that you and Tom are right - this thread is begining to encompass the entire forum!-Darwin (September 09, 2008, 11:16 AM)

We should really split up this thread into dif topics since there is some useful information in some of these posts that will never get discovered because of the topic title.-mouser (September 09, 2008, 10:15 AM)
I get the feeling you might be better starting a few different threads ( otherwise we could simply move most of the forum into this thread-tomos (September 03, 2008, 02:26 AM)
A man was walking on the beach one day, carrying his shoes in his hand. He sat down beside a tidal pool and looked at the shells and seaweed left in it. Then he noticed, just above the water line, what looked like a pile of salt. But the salt seemed to have the form of a woman. Then she opened her eyes, smiled, and sat up.
"Are you our salt doll who disappeared into the ocean?" he asked. "Or are you now the ocean itself?"
"I am both," said the salt doll. "I always was."
"How could you have come back from the sea?" the man asked.
"My purpose brought me back," she said. "I came back to tell you about the ocean. And to tell all you people something you don't seem to know about yourselves. I am no different from you. You are all salt dolls."
The man looked down at his bare foot, and for a moment it looked like it was made of salt.

I've never had one before 40hz. Could you give me an idea on what quality to look for? The closest I got to a voice recorder was from a PocketPC and that was very clunky both to use and to import data of.

But that's would be hard to argue unless you did something deliberately malicious.
