You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I can't find anything wrong with Gmail.

edit: at the moment.

I'm towards the end of uploading 15,000 emails onto gmail ( I never delete an email unless it is spam or virus ridden or something.) While I do back up my computer, I decided it is time to get as much stuff backed up to a separate location. Since my critical files word,pdf, excel ect. files plus bookmarks, application setting and so on I'm considering paying the $55 per year for carbonite. My backup needs seem exactly what carbonite is built to handle, not a ton of data total, no really large files, total megabytes of incremental changes per day very small, so once backup is in place should have no problem keeping it updated.

I'm having difficulties getting into gmail via Chrome on my laptop - when I try I get this message:

This webpage has a redirect loop.

The webpage at [link] has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer.

I've tried clearing cookies and then allowing cookies and neither worked. Meanwhile, I can get to gmail via Firefox or IE. What's up with that?

I don't know - how do I find out if I have that?

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

do you see a gmail icon in the menu bar of Chrome? I think if you go to extensions, you can see if you installed the Gmail one.

If it is installed, you might try deleting the extension, purging cookies again, closing Chrome and re-opening it.

Otherwise, I would just uninstall Chrome and reinstall it. Chrome might just be having a bad day.

I have a .wmv file that needs to play in a standard dvd player. I knew how to do this before my family killed my brain. Help!

Trying to create Gmail filter on reply to. The search is ultra-simple replyto:lbo-talk@lbo-talk.org

But to create a permanent filter - the reply-to field is not in the filter form. Any way around it?

BTW for getting old emails into gmail:

there are free apps you can download to do this, or:

1) for emails: turn imap temporarily on in gmail. add your google account to your client as imap account. Once you are connecting simply copy emails within your client from inbox or sent or whatever to label of your choice in gmail (which will look like a folder to your app.)

2) for contacts export to CSV. Use gmail feature that imports CSV contacts.

OK figured it out. The gmail field "has the words" if used without checking anything is actually for freeform query filters.
