Click the "Read/Unread" column header. Works for me in latest Thunderbirds.

Thanks, should have figured that out  :D

Speaking of old, you mentioned "Which mail client can't do that?" regarding unreads. How is that done in Thunderbird?

Of course it does, try my last 2 ISPs pop3 vs Gmail's pop3. Both using Thunderbird.

One Gmail feature I really like is keeping unread on top no matter how old it is.

Which mail client can't do that?

This is a provider discussion isn't it? not email client. Are you suggesting I use (for example) Yahoo pop3?

Mostly a preference issue for me (as for everyone?)

  • One Gmail feature I really like is keeping unread on top no matter how old it is.
  • Other web options are not adequate, for example Yahoo mail doesn't even load the inbox (tab) properly the (increasingly) occasional times I use it.
  • My ISP provided email? I don't want to use it long term at the risk of changing ISPs and dealing with its spam flood requires extra software or is impossible

The only viable alternative is perhaps my own domain.

I guess we can split this into its own thread?

We launched Google Reader in 2005 in an effort to make it easy for people to discover and keep tabs on their favorite websites. While the product has a loyal following, over the years usage has declined. So, on July 1, 2013, we will retire Google Reader. Users and developers interested in RSS alternatives can export their data, including their subscriptions, with Google Takeout over the course of the next four months.

People block/skip/walkaway from TV ads too. Content creators and producers complaining about ad effectiveness or reach is not new.

Thought about asking family/friends for financial help - to reach a goal - yes.
An online or public method? no don't think I have ever thought about it that way. Will be following your campaign with interest.

(My posts should always come with a disclaimer: English not my mother tongue + not smart = bad combination)

I wouldn't call it self promotion. If it is helping you achieve something it's a good thing. Plus it can also help someone else.

Living Room / Re: Microsoft may be after-taxed $1 Billion by Denmark
« Last post by rgdot on March 05, 2013, 07:34 AM »
Microsoft bought Navision for 10.8 billion DKK, then sold it to Microsoft Ireland for a lot less than that - and substantially less than it's worth. That's tax evasion - and it's illegal.

It think that would depend on who's tax code you're basing that argument on. Laws vary greatly. There's no universal agreement since each nation so fiercely defends its own sovereignty and niggling 'cultural identity' that any attempt at establishing a uniform set of laws gets torpedoed less than a day after it's proposed.

Doesn't stop the psychopathic megacorps from using all sorts of tricks to try and do it, and they often get away with it due to loopholes. Might make it technically legal, but it doesn't make it morally acceptable.

A large part of the ethical conundrum with this is that taxes are assessed by governments and based on laws written by them. And we all know ethical our governments are. To say nothing of the incredibly moral and ethical ways our tax monies often get used.

So tempted to make this a basement thread  ;)

I have an idea

A piece of code (or any object, anything) that self destructs, if a vendor sells more than 1000 copies then there won't be anything to sell.

I don't see why you guys are still saying there are no limitations, that this is free. As I posted above, you're promising that you'll deploy an MS-powered website (onto one of their approved hosts or servers, i.e., not el cheapo hosting) within the next year. It may be that they can't enforce it -- other than to terminate your license rights -- but you'd still be acting in bad faith to make the agreement without the intent to follow through on this promise.

d.  Web Pro will deploy a Web Pro Website on Windows Azure or Windows Server (on a Hosting Server or with a Hosting Partner) by the first anniversary of Web Pro’s enrollment in the Program.

How do you deduce approved when it says Windows Server (on a Hosting Server or with a Hosting Partner) ?
