Email Info Page

All email users: Please note the tab at the top for the page that I added [Email Info].  Instead of boring all my readers with the saga that this migration is becoming, I will start putting any new info on that page.  Please check it every now and then, and if you have any problems, questions or comments, go there first to see if I have already addressed the problem.  You can also leave a comment on there in the event that your email is not working for some reason.

Thanks again for your patience.

More issues with the email.

I don’t know why roundcube will occasionally give you that database error, but the couple times it has happened to me, I just logged back in, stopped the autoload of roundcube and then clicked on squirrelmail.

One of those two has always worked, so you can still access your email.

Sorry about the inconvenience, I’ll le them know about the issue.

Important message for my email users.

I don’t know what happened, but none of my logins for the email service work.  I have sent in a trouble-ticket to the help desk, and will let you know what’s up as soon as I know.

Please try to access your email account at the new site.  Let me know either way – if you can access it or if you get an ‘invalid login’ error message.  Leave a comment on this post, since I can’t get to my email right now.

Thanks.

 

 

 

RESOLUTION: The good news is that none of you should have had any problem checking your email.  I was trying to get Thunderbird to access my email account, and because of too many faulty attempts, my IP address was blocked out.

So it was just me.

Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam…

For all my email users:

Yes, the new email is replete with spam.  Offers for all kinds of stuff none of us need.

I figured out how to enable the site-wide spam identifier, now you will need to set your email to send all that spam to the junk folder.

Detailed directions are HERE.  And, as always, if you have any questions, let me know.

Thanks for your patience as I get things going and correct the problems we discover along the way.

Progress on the server switch…

Things have begun to change.  I’ve been working with the help desk and so far everything has gone smoother than I expected.

The website has been changed over to the new server.  My pictures and other accessories on the blog are no longer coming from that old computer at my house that I was using as a server. 

Which means that everything will still come through, even if the power goes out at my house.  Phew!

To those of you with srossi.net email accounts:

1 – I think that the email has been switched over to the new service, you will need to start using the new login page.  You should check the old site once in a while just to make sure no emails wander over there.  If any do show up at the old site – let me know as soon as possible.  I will need to know the time they show and what service they were sent from (gmail, yahoo, hotmail, srossi.net, etc..) so I can see if there is some correlation.

1.5 – Update – I just got two emails on the new site, but when I sent something from my school email, it went to the old site.  I’ll keep checking and keep you up to date.

2 – It seems, for now, you can send emails from either site, but you should probably stick to sending them from the new one.

3 – Check back here often, I will keep updates on what I see happening and let you know of any problems and/or resolutions.
