I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

The return of the pop-up:

sounds like advertisers are getting around firefox. We need to find a fix for this. I got hit several times over at tvtome.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The return of the pop-up:

Yeah, I've seen a few in both Safari and Firefox. Bastards.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

for tvtome, I think I'll get around this by using google and read the cached pages.

I was wondering why I had popups this weekend. Grrrr.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I've been using Eudora on my PC for years, but have been frustrated at how slow it is to filter messages, especially since I installed spamnix a while back. It seems to be very CPU heavy -- If I'm using iTunes, the music always stops when Eudora checks mail. I was thinking of trying out Thunderbird. Has anyone tried the latest versions of both? Opinions?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I fucking *love* Thunderbird. It isn't that quick when searching my IMAP inbox, but I think I might have 3000 messages in there.

I like its search capabilities and the filters are great. I recommend Thunderbird.

I'm using Thunderbird Jon. It's not tasking my system at all. I have an obscene number of email accounts.

I used to get virus warning often on my old outlook setup, and I don't get them anymore so it apparently filters that well enough. It catches a good deal of junk, but there are 3 daily spam messages that I can't block for anything. Grrr. One day I will finally delete old accounts that only get junk.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Do you have a spam filter integrated with it LeN?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

ita, no spam filter. Thunderbird has its own I think. It flags some stuff as spam and then you click on a menu item "delete messages flagged as spam" and out they go. It doesn't catch everything, but admittedly, my 2 accts are not spam heavy.

I have some problems with Eudora (though it's not eating my cycles). However I get so much freaking spam to my main account, and Spamnix/Eudora handles it so well that I may be locked in forever.
