Mail Issues
I've been using Outlook 2003 for years and it did all I needed. When I
upgraded to Windows 10, it killed Outlook 2003. I can still received and read emails but cannot send a new one. I cannot activate the Office 2003 suite even though it was activated under Windows 7. Automatic activation says I have too many installations so cannot add another one (I actually have no working installations). Telephone support is unavailable for this product so I am stuck. I started using the mail that came with Windows 10, but then found out that the programming is incomplete. It is not possible to add new folders. Help says that ability is coming soon, whatever that means. At this point, I intend to set up Gmail to send and receive all my mail accounts and be finished with this. |

You did not want help with Windows 10 or with Outlook 2003. This was a rant. Feel better now after venting? |

Your sig delimiter is broken. The OpenPGP key is a good one but it was created by Unseen.is and therefore doesn't play nice for some people. The reason I use OpenPGP in general is because there is a loser in another newsgroup who has a habit of stealing peoples' identities and posting as them. I insert it as a way of authenticating the posts by signing them. 2. Do you really think that a pgp sig is necessary in a newsgroup. It isn't, but the above mentions _why_ I'm using it. 3. Your almost ready to join my kill file.

We can always end up using Mail in Windows 10 which is good if you demand absolutely nothing out of an e-mail client. As I said up-thread, a spin-off doesn't mean end of support. SeaMonkey was spun off in 2005 as a Mozilla Project and is still being actively updated. Mozilla still provides infrastructure support for the project and likely would do the same for Thunderbird. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SeaMonkey -- Ed Mullen http://edmullen.net/ When you open a new bag of cotton balls, are you supposed to throw the top one away? |
