BT have agreed to refund me for poor email service...

I've also posted this information as a reply to various other discussions so apologies if you've already read it
I have managed to get BT to agree to refund me for poor service since migration to BT mail on 1st October. I recommend others do so too.
Unfortunately BT can't authorise payment until the problem is fixed so you'll have to phone back sometime in the future to complete the process but it is important to log the complaint now.
First report a fault (by phone or email): I notified BT of slow service and too frequent time outs due to the firewall interface problem they had previously told me about - and, as a result of the repeated reload etc, excess bandwidth useage (more info below).
Note: Today, a very helpful person from the faults team called Mythilm told me that "It is an ongoing issue"; It is " a common fault on most customer accounts" "There will be a notification when the problem is solved. It is not known when that will be."
The BT bill team initially said that I would only be compensated for days since I had reported the fault. This was rescinded after I explained that the service section of the website had reported the faults on other days and it was unreasonable of them to require me to report the fault on those days (and in any case they wouldn't have wanted me to do so as their complaints line would have been overloaded).
Make sure that the person handling your complaint notes the days affected before your fault complaint is registered (in my case 15th Oct). The website was showing service outage messages on 1st and 2nd Oct. and another a week or so later - I think it was 9th. Unfortunately the faults history seems to be deleted from the website on a daily basis.
Phone and add more days if the fault appears again.
When you're notified that the situation has been resolved, phone BT's billing dept and claim the refund.
Good luck and please let others know what they can do. Maybe together we will persuade BT to improve the service very soon!
Note on broadband useage
I downloaded a bandwidth monitor which shows approx 50k /s every time I get a "system busy" or similar message and lasts anything from 5-15 secs. The timeouts happen every 4 mintes (I tested this with the support time team on 15th. Oct). Scale by the number of minutes you are logged in per day, the number of days affected and number of email accounts and the numbers soon get very big - I reckon it's 2G for me so far this month - which takes me over my bandwidth allowance. It's only £5.30 per 5G but I object to paying BT for bandwidth that is being imposed on me to deliver a non-functioning service!

I'm sure every body will be interested to see if this comes to fruition and you get compensation for the email service which BT say is a "free value added service".
Meanwhile I appreciate that you are trying to inform all users about this but please follow the forum guidelines.

Filing a complaint for poor customer service

Can anyone tell me how I go about filing a complaint for poor customer service? Funny when you speak to Verizon representatives they always want to know how the service was until you get someone on the phone who knows they done nothing to help. Than they don't ask, don't care, won't put you through to someone else, won't call back, and leave you w/no answers.

Just hop on over to Google and try and find the names of some key players at VZW and search for their contact info. It took me every bit of a minute to google and find the website people. It has the name of some key folks and contact info...send them an email and voice your concerns. Will it help...who knows...but at least you'll feel better knowing you tried... Good luck with whatever issue you're having with VZW...

I have 2 accounts. One for my emails and FaceTime, and the other for the iTunes store, iMessage etc. Is there any way to merge all of those into one account?

My emails and factime are on one account (i.e. my MobileMe account) and my Apple ID (i.e. imessage, itunes, app store etc) is on another account. I primarily wanted to make my MobileMe account my iCloud account, however I had to create a new account to do so, so I made a hotmail account because it didn't work again with MobileMe. But now I want all the iCloud data to be transferred from my hotmail account (Apple ID) to my MobileMe account, so I then have one account for everything (facetime, mails, imessage, app store etc). Is this possible?

You can't merge accounts or transfer iTunes purchases from one Apple ID to another: but there is no problem about using two IDs.
Use your iCloud ID for iCloud for syncing email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and PhotoStream.
Use your other Apple ID as before for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match.
There's no conflict about doing this, and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts.

Need a Forum For Poor Customer Service Issues, Like Yelp For Verizon.

Has the customer service been getting worse since there has been less competition for Verizon and because they have the backing of Google? Are they getting swollen heads that make it hard to have any sort of common courtesy? I felt like I was dealing with comcast the other day, not Verizon. I have ONLY been with Verizon because of the customer service. If that starts to disappear, at&t might be in my near future. My dad has them and he has no problems with customer service. I've never had problems with verizon ever. Until now. I would love to be able to get the persons name and customer rep number and report on a forum somewhere about my experience. Just to see if it was me or if this person needs to be fired. Does something like that exist? Oh and of course, vice-versa.

Why would you charge me $40 for a supposedly free upgrade?Have been a faithful verizon customer for years went in for myfree upgrade and paid for a iphone and protectve cover now I have to pay a fee for a free service? I will start switching my devices to

Why would you charge me$40 for a free upgrade? I chose a iPhone and paid you the difference plus protective cover, now you want to charge me a fee for activating a number I have had for years!!! I have been a faithful Verizon customer for years but I will switch companies when my contracts are up or I can get a buy out from another company, your free upgrade is not free and is a false advertisement as far as I'm concerned

However you had already stated you did not choose a "free upgrade", but paid the difference for an iPhone. So much for your "free upgrade". Additionally, I was not aware Verizon was in the business of giving away "free service"(s)?????? Purchasing a "free" or "reduced price" phone IS NOT a free service. You sign a contract in exchange for receiving that benefit. There is an upgrade fee along with that service you are contracted to complete or you will be charged an early termination fee(ETF), so this IS NOT a free service.
Yes, you have a choice to go with another provider which ALSO charges an upgrade fee OR charges you full retail value for your phone. So much for a "free upgrade" there.
AT&T = upgrade fee
Sprint = upgrade fee
T-Mobile = no upgrade fee but must pay full retail cost for the phone
For what it is worth, you would not have had to pay an upgrade fee had you simply paid full retail cost for your phone OR purchased it with Edge at full retail cost. Depending on your calling plan and data allowance, you may have even ended up paying less for your phone had you done so. That is why a little research before you make a purchase can go a long way.
I know it is cheaper for me to pay full retail for a phone than to purchase a discounted device in exchange for signing a contract.
Good luck with the new provider.

Does anyone have an e-mail address for Apple customer service?

I received some pretty bad customer service today, and I want to voice an opinion on it.

If this occurred at an Apple Store your best bet is to contact the store's manager and discuss the situation.
If it was an on-line or telephone transaction see the Contact Us link at the bottom of this page for information regarding contacting Apple.

Having trouble removing a student email account from the Windows Mail App because the school has started using office 365 for thier email which i dont have access to

I was wondering if anybody has any ideas on how to remove a gmail account that was set up by a community college for use on their mail servers and then find out that after awhile they have locked you out because they have started using office 365 for their
emails and you are left with a student email account that you have no idea how to delete because you have missied out on deleting it before they changed to a different email provider?
Anybody with ideas please help because I don't know what to do

Hi,
Regarding to Windows Mail App, do you mean the Modern UI App in Windows 8.1? Do you mean that you want to remove the email account from Mial App? Generally, we can simply remove the account by the "Account" option in Mail App (Open Mail App, move
the mouse the right chram bar, click Account, then click the mail account\Remove account), but if the email acocunt is tied with the Microsoft Account which is used on the pc, in that case, it is unavailable to remove the email account, you need to contact
your college to disconnect the Microsoft Account.
If I'm misunderstanding something, please free correct me.

I'd add to Joaquin's answer that the standard table for cities is ADRCITY table (not ADRC). And if you have maintained SAP Regional Structure then there will be standard search help available for the street field.
And you can read more about [SAP Regional Structure here|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm700_ehp01/helpdata/EN/e0/597b52e88b11d4b35d0050dadef62b/frameset.htm].

Can I have separate mail icons for my email accounts?

Is it possible to have separate email icons on my main screen - one for my personal account and one for my work account?

Yes you can. You just have to download the app for that email..... with your Mail app taken by one email you can download a different app that supports your email (ei. Gmail, Hotmail, etc....)

Hi,
It is not clear to me if you are working with sapscript or smartforms.
You have only to find a variable which identifies the kind of invoice
I do not know that variable so i use an example variable
for sapscript:
/: IF &VBDKR-FKTYP& = '1'
/ INVOICE
/: ELSE
/ SERVICE ORDER
/: ENDIF.
In a smartform you can also do something like that.
but There you work with conditions (eq, BOOLEAN)
You have only to find the right variable
success,
Gr., Frank

Make Mail Require a Subject for an Email

Hi,
Is there a way to have Mail require a Subject for an email before it can be sent?
I really hate sending off emails with no subject when I forget to type one in. But I see no setting in the Preferences for this.
Thanks,
Jeff

Not in 10.4 at the moment to test, but Mail in 10.5.8 does warn if there's no subject.

Setting default account for sending email

I have 4 accounts I use for sending email, but would like to have one be the default and can't figure how to do that. there is a check box next to the outgoing server dropdown that says use only this account. I don't think that is what I want, nor am i clear what that would do.
Is there a way to set a preferred outgoing account?
Does that require a plug in or helper app of some sort.
thanks for any suggestions.

In Mail>Preferences>Composing:
Use Send new messages from: to select an account.

Campaigns - Hard bounces for valid email addresses

I am getting hard bounces with 'Bad Mailbox Destination Address' for valid email addresses that everybody internally and externally can email without problem.
Doesn't instill me with much faith for sending out 10,000 emails next week!

If you can email that address manually from a regular email address and it goes through fine then it's likely you might be getting blocked by spam filters although usually that would be indicated in your bounce message.
Is your site fully hosted on BC (ie - with BC's nameservers) or is your domain hosted via an A record to point to BC? If you are being blocked by spam filters then you are likely using the A record because fully hosted sites on BC have the SPF records in place.
If you are using an A record to point to BC's servers for your domain and manage your DNS records somwehere then you need to add a TXT record with the SPF data. Goto your domain registrar and manage your DNS entries. You'll want to add a TXT record with the following info:
Record name: @
Record type: TXT
Record value: v=spf1 mx include:worldsecuresystems.com ~all
Record TTL: 86400
You can only have one SPF record on your domain so if you already have a TXT record with SPF data in it for other email services your domain uses (like gmail) you just need to update your TXT SPF record and add "include:worldsecuresystems.com" after the first "include" statement in the TXT record the TXT value would look like:
"v=spf1 mx include:_spf.google.com include:worldsecuresystems.com ~all"
If your problem is that your emails are blocked by spam filters that should fix it but I'm pretty sure 'Bad Mailbox Destination Address' usually indicates a non-existent or malformatted username in your email address (ie - the part before the "@"). I would also double check your subscribers list and make sure there are no spaces or any other invalid character in the email addresses for the customers that are getting bounced back.
Here's more information about your specific error from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232118(v=exchg.80).aspx which has to do with MS Exchange server specifically but still provides a good explanation:
5.1.1
Bad destination mailbox address
This failure may be caused by the following conditions:
The recipient e-mail address was entered incorrectly by the sender.
No recipient exists in the destination e-mail system.
The recipient mailbox has been moved and the Microsoft Office Outlook recipient cache on the sender's computer has not updated.
An invalid legacy domain name (DN) exists for the recipient mailbox Active Directory.
This error typically occurs when the sender of the message incorrectly enters the e-mail address of the recipient. The sender should check the recipient's e-mail address and send again. This error can also occur if the recipient e-mail address was correct in the past but has changed or has been removed from the destination e-mail system.
If the sender of the message is in the same Exchange organization as the recipient, and the recipient mailbox still exists, determine whether the recipient mailbox has been relocated to a new e-mail server. If this is the case, Outlook may not have updated the recipient cache correctly. Instruct the sender to remove the recipient address from sender's Outlook recipient cache and then create a new message. Resending the original message will result in the same failure.
Other issues may cause this error, such as an invalid legacy distinguished name (DN) in Active Directory. Examine and correct the legacy DN of the recipient's mailbox. Then instruct the sender to remove the recipient address from sender's Outlook recipient cache and then create a new message. Resending the original message will result in the same failure.
