Yeah. That what I thought I had done. I looked at every setting except that it never occurred to me that I had enabled imap instead of POP. It is easy enough to enable pop, and then maybe the other setting will keep it from deleting on the client when stuff is deleted on the server. The reason I'm waiting until next month, is that I'm afraid that when I switch from IMAP to POP, it may download everything. I hope not, but just in case I'll wait until November so I don't use up too much of my Comcast bandwith. It depends on whether with a new connection Thunderbird will be smart enough to notice that I already have all existing emails.
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

I figured out how do it without accidentally redownloading. I disable Imap, enabled pop, but only from now forward. I could not figure out how to change a thunderbird imap folder to a pop folder, so I created a new account in thunderbird for the pop access. So from now on, all new email downloaded will be in the new folder, while history from a few minutes ago backward will be in the old folder. And I tested it, and with pop access deleting it from the server does not delete from the client -at least not after I tweaked a few setting.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I've got a bunch of .avi and .mp4 video files I'd like to watch on my DVD player on the TV.
What format do I need to change them to so that they'll play on my DVD player (from a DVD-R burn), and what's a good free app for converting them?
Or is it easier to just play it from my computer to the TV screen?

David,
I think it might be easier to play it from your computer to the Tv. Mac or PC?
The solution I tend to prefer is Roku. I put videos on an USB stick and stick that in a new(ish) Roku and the Roku Media Player channel can typically recognize most video. The video does need to be in a particular format - but Handbrake on the Mac is pretty good at that.
Note: Handbrake is open source and it looks like it works on windows also, so that might be my solution.

Depending on how old your dvd player is, it might read them right from the disk, without any conversion needed. The documentation for the dvd player should say if it reads .avi files.

So, anyone have thoughts on Verizon vs ATT vs Sprint? My contract with ATT was up in July, so I'm all for getting a new phone.

I use Verizon, but only because of the coverage area, which is vastly superior to the others in rural areas like mine. I don't really have a choice.

meara,
I cannot remember where you live, but Sprint's coverage was ass when I was traveling in CA this summer.
Verizon & ATT are both the antiChrist IMO. They nickel and dime you to death.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I had no complaints with Sprint, I switched to Verizon because I wanted a Droid. My contract was up in August, but I plan to stick with Verizon for the new Samsung (which I hope will be released soon), and because I am grandfathered in with an unlimited data plan. With Sprint I think you can still get unlimited data on a new contract.
