Hummm, my wife would see right through that kind of diplomacy..... :-) Speaking of coffee, I'm glad I wasn't drinking mine when you said that :-) Not drinking coffee when laughing is better for the keyboard, I always say. Oh, I don't know. Sometimes it's a good excuse to wash all of the dust and bread crumbs out :-) -- Faster, cheaper, quieter than HS2 and built in 5 years; UKUltraspeed http://www.500kmh.com/ |

Check the library, the YMCA, the senior centers, and of course the community colleges. Be creative. Hire a friend or teenager, if necessary. Did that some time back and all they teach is the basics. How to use email. Searching the web. Virus protection. Burning disks. Some info on Forums and chats. They cover the real basics. Nothing beyond what most newbie already know who manages to get online. They're geared for someone who just bought a PC and is afraid to unbox it. Those with no experience at all,or very little. Learning about MS software is not a big part of the what's taught. Then find a second level class. *Please*. -- Gene E. Bloch (Stumbling Bloch) |

I sincerely think that if a good course or book can be found, it would help R.H. Breener more than piecemeal asking an ad hoc question every time he[1] gets stumped. If you mean you think he'll get tired of posting here, he is not at all new to Windows newsgroups. [1] Lacking gender information, I'm using "he" in the generic sense. -- Gene E.

Except that isn't true here - the above is a legitimate extension. -- Gene E. Bloch (Stumbling Bloch) Thanks. Got that handled and fixed. I located the email I needed. Vista is still opening with a long list of ever increasing size under a folder called Recovered Messages. All the folders are empty. I'm still able to send and receive mail so will leave it alone until I can get some kind of mail software working on W8. |

Hummm, my wife would see right through that kind of diplomacy..... :-) Guilty as charged, but hopefully also helpful. ;-) This guy needs help of the basic variety before he should be tackling grafting an old email program onto a new OS. You can tell where a person is at by the questions they ask, and this guy is at 'Start'. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Everyone starts somewhere. Just saying....this entire episode on multiple topics with repeated responses could be just a drive-by charade. From my vantage point, the members of this group have been quite altruistic....thus at this stage, any more responses might just keep feeding enough info to generate other locally created scenarios that may or may not even exist in reality. I was beginning to think the topic might be a ruse. However, based upon the OP's eventual follow-up, I feel he was in earnest with his solicitation for assistance. Now the case appears to be closed, I would like to suggest he completely dump Windows Mail and migrate to a web based interface such as Gmail or at the very least switch over to Thunderbird. I installed Thunderbird but haven't had much time to mess with it. Other things are taking priority with the LT. If that doesn't pan out I'll have to go to gmail on the web, not something I look forward to. You guys were a great help when I installed WindowsMail on W7. After something like 2 years it's still working. |
