Server Down, PayPal Phishing, and WP 2.O

Happy New Year! I'm using a new newsletter feature from my new website (www.likoma.com), so could you let me know you got this email? Just a blank reply is fine, thanks. I won't be using this newsletter to bombard you with junk mail, so please don't unsubscribe. I'll try to keep it relevant to you [...]

Outlook, “Can’t connect to server”

Update: This same trick seems to work for Mac Mail, too. Delete the email account, then recreate it. Got this answer from a client who got it from SBC who knew of a glitch in Microsoft Outlook. In a nutshell, your Outlook account can get rusty and needs to be deleted and recreated. Not deleting [...]

Someone is sending from MY email address!

Well, they're not really. It's as if I were at my sister's house and I wrote a letter (a what?!) and put my return address label on the envelope even though I was sending it from my sister's house. So if it got returned, it would come to my house, not her house. The spammers [...]

Automated (scheduled) batch processes

PHP List can handle sending to zillions of email addresses, but your hosting company and/or ISP and/or the spam police won't be as thrilled with the idea. Also, when you click Process Queue you should really keep that process window open until it's done, but it might get stuck in the process. Meet throttle processes. [...]

Mac OS 9 + Outlook Express + SBC Global

If you have those ingredients, it's a potential recipe for disaster if you're trying to send email. Found the answer here. It basically says change "smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com" to "smtp.sbcglobal.net". Found another idea here that says to use a " % " in place of the " @ " in the authentication part of the email set [...]

Incoming server error

I often get an error message regarding incoming server. For some reason I am unable to get messages right now. I could receive just 10 minutes ago. Can you help?

Importing contacts into PHP List

Here's some help on getting your Outlook (or other) contacts into PHP List. It's a bit complicated and the video assumes you know how to export your Outlook contacts into an Excel spreadsheet, but hey, here it is anyway. It assumes you already have your contacts in an Excel spreadsheet and have PHP List up [...]

No more AOL forwarding

(Note from my hosting company:) Due to the increase in SPAM complaints and AOL’s automated SPAM filter not being able to determine what is SPAM and what is a forward, effective Tuesday @ 5am EST we will no longer allow forwards from our accounts to AOL accounts. […]

AOL e-mail using (e.g.) Outlook

In April 2004, AOL introduced a way that its subscribers can access their AOL e-mail messages from other e-mail applications, including Outlook, anywhere Internet access is available. […]

Auto Responder

An auto responder (e.g. Out of Office) needs to be set up at the servers where you email lives, not in your email program. 1.) Log in to your domain's control panel: http://www.yourdomain.com/webmail. Your login name is your email address ([email protected]) and then enter your password. 2.) Click on the "Autoresponder Options" button. 3.) Type [...]

Setting up you at yourdomain.com

You can now use [email protected] email. Here's how to set that up. Depending on your email program, these instructions will vary, but here's the general gist of it: 1.) In your email program (e.g. Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, etc.), find where you add a new email account. In Outlook, it's Tools --> Email Accounts. 2.) [...]
