...all my words have been taken by my work. - Mala

I use yahoo small business and have tried and failed to set up IMAP in the past. I'm pretty sure yahoo doesn't do IMAP at all (except some weird version on the iphone for the @yahoo.com address). I definitely can't get it going with my own domain.

ETA: Reading available options they only offer pop. It's been unreliable for me.

I was sitting on the toilet one day and I thought, "Wouldn't it be great if moving fonts from one computer to another was awkward and counter-intuitive? Wouldn't it be so cool if I couldn't actually see what files are in the fonts folder without resorting to the command line? Also, wouldn't it be lovely if my files were arbitrarily grouped into categories that have nothing to do with the way I organize things?

Windows 7 was my idea.

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

Are moving fonts supposed to be easy? I mean, if you've bought or downloaded them, aren't they simply moveable from the point you obtained them?

Aren't the fonts just in Windows/Fonts

You may have to install them, though that should just be a matter of highlighting all the fonts you what to install, right-clicking, and selecting 'install'

But that's not what moving fonts from one computer to another sounded like. I'd just install them again from the source.

In Windows XP it's as simple as copying/pasting to Windows/Fonts folder.

Just moving them to the Fonts folder in Windows 7 doesn't work. Even if they're physically in the folder, they're invisible until they're installed, but you can't access them to install them. After considerable googling, I figured out I could rename the folder, select all and then install the fonts, which then moved into the actual Fonts folder.

I'd just install them again from the source.

I have 600+ fonts accrued over 15 years from multiple sources, including ones that don't exist any more.

Yeah, that sounds about right. Even in XP, you have to paste the file into another folder, then select it from the font installer. You can just drag and drop.
