Ooh, good to know. Thanks.
I wonder if using Parallels makes a difference, as with that the "guest OS" is running on a virtual machine instead of actual hardware....
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

P-C, did you get your Outlook issue fixed? This may be very obvious, but did you enable pop access on your gmail acct? That is the main reason why most people I know can't download their email via pop using outlook.

What's a good company for dialup internet access where you only pay by the hour? (Or by the minute. Whatever.)
eta: Also, what's a good email hosting company?

By the looks of it, we'll need a new Tech thread in a few months. I propose:
Buffistatechnology 11, going on 100.
OK, that'll probably be too confusing. But it just popped into my head so I had to send it out over the internets.

I did do that!
Status: POP is enabled for all mail that has arrived since 3/20/05
So I have no bleeding clue what's going on.
Also, my gmail account gets an impressive amount of spam given that I've never given out the address anywhere.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I've had the same issue. Only place I have it listed is here. The spam filter catches it all, but still annoying.

Tommyrot, I have a MaGlobe account that I use about twice a year or so, less so now that wireless access is a lot more common. I can't offhand remember how much it costs, but it's quite reasonable measured by my innate cheapitude.

P-C,
Okay, you may want to change your pop access to "everything that comes from now on" just to see if anything is getting through. That's a lot of email and sometimes (IME) the gmail pipe can't handle it all at once.

Well, my e-mail currently only has about seven e-mails in it, so...I don't think that's the issue exactly. It won't even connect to the server! I'll try, though.

Anyone remember the name of Gud's IP detection program? It's for Linux (Gnome, I think) and he keeps it at Freshmeet or somesuch....
