Hi folks, let me be more specific..some of you tech wizards run your own mail servers laughs. for context, although google is removing access to basic html in January, they pulled my access to it early..and without warning on Monday. So, what I am seeking now is a provider that can.. 1, allow me to export all of my gmail content to them. 2, either allows for user name / password log in directly with a web interface, or where I can ssh into a shell or workspace and find an email client, think Alpine for example. 3, where I can also send email, in theory once I have all of my gmail content, I can set that email to forward without losing access to a great deal of personal, professional, and legal files.
Karen, I ran email on my local machine about twenty years ago. I stopped at the time because a number of people I communicated with were sitting behind firewalls that excluded home email servers. I cannot access my personal website from work because that is considered dangerous. I have a gmail account, and I can no longer download by popmail. Handy tip folks -- Start your emails with a line feed at the top of the page. This will separate your content from the blurb corporate email servers will attach warning your recipients how evil and dangerous you are. I am considering taking out a URL for my website. If I contract with a service that provide email, I should be able to download that through popmail, right? -- Howard Gibson hgibson@eol.ca http://home.eol.ca/~hgibson
