You're making it sound like you think you didn't help me. You did help me. It was here that I learned about the difference between POP and IMAP, and that explained why my email was working differently than it used to. None of the "official experts" told me about this. This thread was more...

Since this thread http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?345802-iPhone-email has expanded beyond the original post and subject, I was going to edit the title to: iPhone email (also diplomacy between experts and laymen) But when I try to edit the post, I get a blank/empty post field. And...

This is a good idea for discussion. I'm going to carry it on here, with the spirit of discussion. It may sound like I'm "defending" myself here, but really, I'm beyond that now. But there is a side of my particular story that does make the discussion more interesting. A twist. For instance, I...

Radiating Gnome, you've accurately stated my [former] situation, better than I did. I've come, (through this thread conversation), to learn this. I can understand this position, and I'm resigning myself to using my email like this. (Even though the POP way has never caused me any problem in the...

Well this will twist everyone's noodle: I still have access to my TWC email account, even though it's closed. I don't even get a bill for it anymore; in fact, I got a refund for overpayment when I closed it. But I can still check it, send and receive email through it, (with web mail, Outlook...

OK, you've convinced me to get with the nerd-recommended best practice :-) We'll switch to gmail, and I'll accept how my iPhone-email-sync works. It still annoys me to have used something a certain way, happily, for years, then suddenly have it change to something very different. (At least when...

NewJeffCT, I suspect you might be being trolled at this point. Bullgrit

Nope. Didn't open the mail in Outlook. Bullgrit

My 12 year old son is currently studying the American Revolutionary period of US history. He just this moment asked me about this: In the US, the colonists are the good guys and the British are presented as the bad guys. The British are the oppressors, fighting against American freedom. (My son...

Sigh. So now I have Outlook not delete from the server when I check it. But if I have an unread email on my iPhone, and I check Outlook, the iPhone changes the unread email to read. Dammit, I swear. Bullgrit

This is good advice, and I've already been considering it. We were with TWC for 12 years, and so had no problem with our email being linked with our ISP. But now, it is probably time to make this separation in case we change ISPs again sometime. Bullgrit

Just talked with a guy at the Apple store. He said the iPhone doesn't check and download emails, it syncs with the server and shows me what is on the server -- No choice for any other method. But that's not true. Or, rather, it wasn't true a month ago. I still have my old TWC email account set...

I don’t feel comfortable disagreeing with someone trying to help me, especially when they know more about the subject than I do, but I don’t think that is the source of my problem. I don’t want the email sitting on the server after I’ve downloaded it to my computer. I want it deleted off the...

I think we all understand what goldomark has said. It's just that he is wrong in saying NewJeffCT is mistaken. Not only is NewJeffCT correct, he's correct on two counts -- one that goldomark was talking about, and one that goldomark didn't notice/mention, himself. Bullgrit

I have home Internet (and email) through AT&T. Until last month, I had Internet/email through TWC. The following situation started since the switch to AT&T. I have an iPhone with AT&T service. This has been the service I've had for years. Yesterday I tried to get the below issue fixed through...

Can you spend a whole day doing nothing? (That is: nothing constructive.) Would you be satisfied/happy with a day during which you only napped, read a book, watched some TV, ate something, etc.? Or must you get something done even on a "day off"? Would you be uncomfortable if you didn't clean...

As much as I like and respect NdT, (I am currently reading his book Space Chronicles and loving it), his a bit nit-picky about movies. I mean, he complained about the night sky in Titanic -- something 99.99% of the viewers wouldn't catch or care about. As for his comments about Gravity...

Congrats Scott, for setting such a goal and working towards it after that issue. Septic shock isn't something easy to get over/survive. Bullgrit

At the point where Kowalski was "hanging" by the tether, Stone couldn't pull him in because pulling his mass toward her would pull against the tangled parachute cords holding them. That's what I'm talking about. But yeah, once he disconnected from the tether, he should have just "floated" there...

But he still has mass, which in that situation would have the same result as weight. Yes? Stone and Kowalski were, indeed, extremely lucky throughout. Granted, it could be said they were very unlucky what with all the terrible catastrophes, but just not getting killed by the debris field...
