Best E-mail Client / Re: How I set up my mail folders

« Last post by brotherS on January 17, 2006, 04:53 AM »

@ brotherS: since you also use gmail, how do you organize your mail? Do you simply put everything to archive, or you use something similar to how i do it?

-jgpaiva (January 17, 2006, 04:30 AM)

I also use labels a lot, these are my most used ones:
- BetaNews (mails from http://fileforum.betanews.com/ about new versions of programs that I use)
- forums (mails from various forums about new replys/new topics)
- friends (should be obvious)
- Newsletters (the various newsletters I subscribed to)

Google Mail auto-labels all those for me.

I'm using something similar to fix wrong capitalization in a certain word, always works for me - and I type fast too.

You could try

[Select]

:*o*:wasnt::wasn't

to see if that is faster for you, but as jgpaiva said, your method should be fast enough already. I suggest you ask in the forum on the http://www.autohotkey.com/ site.

I hate webmail, I hate the way it feels, it's restrictiveness.  I hate applications that have web-like interfaces.  It is always slower than something written in C++ for a computer.

-superboyac (January 17, 2006, 01:14 AM)

That's exactly my point: Google Mail is NOT slower! It's faster compared to when you handle your emails on your PC. Been there, done that...

I like having files and folder and options and all that stuff.

I *used* to like folders too Then I had the pleasure to get to know Google Mail

My advice: use Google Mail http://mail.google.com/

-brotherS (January 13, 2006, 06:20 PM)

first:  there's no IMAP so that's just out

-cranky (January 16, 2006, 11:03 PM)

When you *really* use webmail you don't need IMAP!
Your other URL is just paranoia

I'm a gmail believer, though I am a little uncomfortable with all their world dominance... 

I'm surprised so few people ever mention 30gigs.com webmail - now that's real storage...  But then I have an account, and I've not got around to setting it up yet, so maybe that's what happens for others too.

-m_s (January 16, 2006, 03:36 AM)

When it comes to email I want to use only companies where I can be sure they are still around next year

Sure, Google Mail scans your emails and displays ads every now and then - but it's a free service! I don't mind.

« Last post by brotherS on January 15, 2006, 02:55 PM »

Others...I doubt I will use google mail anytime soon, at least not using their web interface. [...] I hate webmail with a passion. I need to have the mail on my computer.

-superboyac (January 14, 2006, 01:07 AM)

Believe me, I used to think exactly the same

Read the comments in this thread once more - then try it for a week or two. It's completely different, but REALLY great. I love to read and archive mails now by using keyboard shortcuts: NOONE came up with that idea before (at least I never saw it anywhere), now I saw other sites using something similar.

I admit: One needs to get used to Google Mail, because it's so much better than regular email clients. But after I got used to it, I don't want to miss it anymore!

I was confused because the option to subscribe isn't available when you are writing a new post, for some reason.  You have to subscribe after posting.  A small flaw in otherwise good forum software.

-yacht_boy (January 13, 2006, 05:39 PM)

Not sure about that, but you could always enable subscription for all topics you start/reply to in your forum profile.

-mouser (May 19, 2005, 04:22 AM)

My advice: use Google Mail http://mail.google.com/

No more sorting of emails into different folders, you just appy labels (or use filters to automatically apply labels). Benefit: you could apply more than one label to one email and do much more. Really the best way to handle private emails right now IMHO.

Thanks, nudone!

Typing Of The Dead is a crazy, irreverent game, and such madness needs to be cherished whenever it appears, in my opinion. There's definitely an intrinsic, enjoyable quality to blowing off a zombie's head by typing the words "Rhythm Method."

And check out the Amazon Recommendations below too!

The problem you reported is a known problem, SC has sometimes problems there. No big deal, but I also hope this could be fixed in the future. It's because SC uses a slightly buggy third-party component IIRC.

i had no idea of this problem.. what exactly is happening?

-mouser (January 12, 2006, 04:54 AM)

Oh?

The old problem: sometimes, after editing images, when you right-click one of the preview images in SC it won't show all of the menu entries that are shown right after you start SC.

True, mouser deserves more donations for all his countless hours of DC related work.

Well, there are better forums if you want to discuss about music, art, science, books, movies, cars, mobile phones, digital cameras, etc. etc. etc.

...but then maybe I'm only interested in too many topics

Hi!
I recently found about Imageshack quickload,and i thought it would be just the perfect tool when combined with sc!
But unfortunatelly,my happyness didn't last long,since in sc's left pane (the one with the tumbnails),in the context menu of one image,not all options of the explorer's contextmenu appear,and the same applies to quickload's.Although i can use it in explorer,i can't use it in sc :S

-jgpaiva (January 12, 2006, 04:02 AM)

Yeah, Imageshack quickload is great, especially for registered users!

I can only recommend taking a "10 finger typing system" course somewhere. It's not that expensive and does not only make typing more fun but also saves LOTS of time!

Will do

Finally I made it.
I had to search quite a while for the key code, but it worked.
Thanks a lot 
The program is really great.
But the required key code really is annoying
Anyway, thanks
