Feedback for new Email system - do you like it, or...
Does anyone know whether it is possible to give feedback on the new email system to anyone in BT who might listen (and preferably do something about it)?
I am finding it much slower that the previous version; I don't like the pop up messages - email sent - do you really want to log out, etc; I don't like the fact that it times out constantly, even in the middle of an email. I don't like the fact that it's greyed out every time you log back on, so you have to make the same decision about cookies half a dozen times every day - after telling it N times that I wanted "functional" only, I've now given up - it changes back every single time to the default system - so what's the point in asking.
I've been using email for a good few years now, other systems as well as BT, and have not come across anything that is quite so annoying, difficult to operate and generally "nannyish"
Is it just me, or is anyone else finding it a bitter pill to swallow? Someone on the Forum suggested I use Thunderbird, but having looked into it, it seems to have very mixed reviews. The only good thing about BT is the anti-virus software - would that still work if I went through another system?
Hi AnneH,
Umpire here from the other thread.
I see you still haven't taken the plunge and tried an e-mail program. Not sure about mixed reviews of Thunderbird (are you sure they were recent reviews as it has been around for many years). I have used lots of different e-mail programs over the years and currently use Thunderbird on my home PC. Anyway, you can use any e-mail program you want to. Windows Live Mail will do the same job, as will many others.
The reason why most people recommend either Thunderbird or Windows Live Mail is just because they are the ones in very common use. They are from the same people (Mozilla and Microsoft) that also provide the commonly used Firefox and Internet Explorer web browsers respectively.
You really need not worry about the security. In fact I would say that an e-mail program is always going to be a more secure way of accessing your e-mail accounts. A large proportion of computer malware is aimed at web browsers. Webmail is always going to be obvious target for those trying to steal your personal info. The virus checking that BT do on their mail servers will still be taking place in exactly the same way if you use an e-mail program. You will also still find things moved to the Spam folder by BT.
The commonly used PC security software packages will also fully integrate with the common e-mail programs and check messages for viruses in the background. E-mail programs often also offer additional spam checking services (in addition to the BT spam checks) which you can turn on/off should you wish to. Personally I find the BT checks sufficient and keep things simple.
Ask yourself this. If an e-mail program offered a lower, riskier level of security then why would so many people with more technical knowledge/experience use them? Also why would most large companies and corporations use them?
I appreciate that what you would like is for BT to drastically improve the webmail interface and allow you to just carry on using that stress free, but is that really likely to happen in the near future?

I have one account, but use it as two for years. One is home, one is work. Recently we upgraded to Windows 7 at work and a new email system. Now I can't download music at work; work tech support can't help but said to use my work email address. Failure.
Could it be a new work firewall associated with the upgrades? How can I resolve this?I have one account, but use it as two for years. One is home, one is work.

how do I turn off this notification. I build web stores and this pops up when I access my store now. The stores have a redirect with masking through godaddy.com to hide the source of the store. I have reset fire fox, turned off most of the settings and still having issues. most of the forms on line are outdated.
ThanksThere is a way to turn off the warning for a 307 "temporary" redirect. However, bear in mind that customers will still see it, so you may want to reconsider the design for business reasons.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box that appears above the list, type or paste '''redi''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click '''network.http.prompt-temp-redirect''' to switch its value from true (the default) to false.

Email program not automatically checking for new email
I just figured out why I'm not getting new mail notification in the Droid email program with my Yahoo email. It seems that the email program does not automatically check for new email. I have to manually open the app and then new emails are downloaded. I have the email settings set up as "data push" checked and "fetch schedule" is at 15 minutes. Is there something else I should be doing?
this may help you...
The way you have it set up should work fine. The stock android email app (for other than gmail) does not push as soon as you get an email, it has to actually "check" your email for you and you set how often it does that. There is afairly new yahoo app in the market (go to market and search for yahoo) that supposedly pushes to your phone when you get an email. I haven't used it, but if you need your email right when you get it, it might be worth a shot.
this was found on the page before yours. anyway i had the droid in january and it had the email deletion bug. so after i lost emails, i traded to the storm 2. it sounds like the droid x is better in that area so i'm waiting for mine to be delivreed.
But as a tip if you lose youe emails randomly.
when i did i called vzw and they didnt know what was going on, but when they sent me an email i scrolled to the bottom of the list then when i scrolled up it would be gone. or gone the next day etc. so, i logged into gmail and we tried again. THEN IN REAL TIME WHILE LOOKING AT GMAIL INBOX ON LAPTOP and the droid, vzw sent another email, i scrolled to the bottom of the laptop gmail inbox and scrolled back up and it too was gone..not in trash/junk either then a second later it disappeared from the droid.
HOWEVER, I HAD OUTLOOK 2003 STUDENT TEACHER EDITION ON WIN XP SP/2 at the time and outlook WAS ABLE TO RETREIVE ALL THOSE EMAILS THAT DISAPPEARED FROM GMAIL AND THE DROID after i would manually send and receive email in outlook. that tells me that the droid email glitch is not deleting all those emails...just "cloaking" them but they are stil there on gmail but only way i could get them was via outlook once a week as i am atruck driver and i cannot get online often. thats why i went to the storm 2..till the Droid X.
As a side note, if i got an email on the storm 1 and 2 i would get it no later than 2 through 5 seconds after sender pressed send. My droid i had in january, took about 8-10 seconds average and 20-27 seconds when it was not cranky and deleting...errr cloaking my emails. also you may wany to see if your incoming yahoo mail settings are for imap vs. POP3... i hear Imap is better setting and see if yahoo has that as well
i hope Droid X is better. from what i hear,not as many email deletion bug issues here...just sync setttings and delayed email notifications. -
Is there a way to receive an audible notification for new email?
Is there a way to receive an audible notificaton for new email?
Julian Wright wrote:
If your email provider supports Push email, then you will get audible email notifications automatically. Otherwise, email is only checked when you open the email app.
If you have Fetch New Data set to automatically check every 15, 30, or 60 minutes then you will also get the tone when the system checks for mail and finds mail available. If you set Fetch New Data to Manually then you will only get the email checked when you open the Mail app. -
This alert pops regularly every 10-15 minutes:
This web page is being redirected to a new location. Would you like to resend the form data you have typed to the new location?
I did some serious research / checked for viruses / removed and reinstalled Thunderbird and Firefox. Please read this carefully.
1. With Firefox closed (default browser), I can open T-bird without any issues and use it just fine.
but,
2. the minute that I open Firefox, T-bird give me a popup message of: This web page is being redirected to a new location. Would you like to resend the form data you have typed to the new location? This is not under the Firefox Browser. It is under the T-bird Tab of my computer.
It does not matter what kind of email you have open, whether it be text or HTML. It pops up.
If I have T-bird open (default email client) and use Chrome or IE with Firefox closed it doesn't happen.
Computer is Windows 7 Pro x64-Bit.This started after the latest Thunderbird update was applied. Like you I have done the same check outs. I found that Thunderbird starts then, without any direct request, FireFox starts as well. Then the messages start popping up. Have already checked and confirmed that the old FireFox posting fixes did not impact the behavior. Looking for an answer.
Same configuration Windows 7 ThinkPad T430. -
This pop up has been occurring about once a minute when I am on certain sites.

I have cleared my cookies and cache and disabled some add ons, but when in Facebook and specifically for Farmville, I keep getting the pop up box, "This web page is being redirected to a new location. Would you like to resend the form data you have typed to the new location?" I have closed and opened the browser, too and it still keeps coming up.... Please help!!! Thanks.
You can't avoid that if the website is coded that way and data needs to be send from one server to another server.

I use yahoo for my email. I would like to make a folder for an email. How do I do this.
I use yahoo for my emails. I would like to make a folder for an email. How do I do this?
If you go to your email account in the Mail app and look at the window where your inbox, trash folder and sent folder are - if there is an Edit button at the top of the window - tap that and then tap Add Mailbox at the bottom.
If the Edit button is not there - you cannot create folders on the iPad. Your email account is not IMAP. Only IMAP email accounts can create folders on the iPad. Any folders that you would already have in an IMAP account would sync to the device as well. -
How often does my Curve 9300 check for new email messages?
Hello everyone,
I hope that you are all well.
I use a Curve 9300 (3G) and assumed that it checked for and retrieved new emails all of the time. However, it seems that it only retreives new messages from my email account every so often. Could someone please let me know how often it checks for new emails?
Also, when I run a Diagnostic Test in the Mobile Network Options menu the result says NO when it tests to see if it is connected to my email account. When I ran tests a while ago the result was YES. Could someone please let me know if this is anything to worry about?
Many thanks.First, you have a misunderstanding that the handheld device "checks" for messages. They don't.
RIM's technology on which the company and popularity was built is that RIM servers go out to your email server and checks for new mail and "pushes" those messages to your handheld BlackBerry.
On a normal POP3 email server, that occurs every 15 minutes and if new messages are found they are pushed and the RIM server checks again in 2 minutes for a few cycles, and after 3-4 cycles of two minute checks, if no new messages are found, it reverts to 15 minutes.
On an IMAP email server, the push is instant. An example of this might gmail accounts, yahoo mail, and private domains hosted by GoDaddy.

Are there any setting or some way to show notifications for new email without open Apple Mail app ?
You know , I am an OCD . I alway's close my Mail app and miss many important new emails .What I do is open the Mail.app, then click the red traffic light (upper left corner of the main Mail.app window) to close that window. The app itself will remain running and you will get updates - this helps keep the desktop tidy while while the mail app remains running. When an update is received, simply click the either the mail icon in your dock or go to the Mail.app menu and click Window > Message Viewer.

this is highly annoying and i can't find a way to turn this annoyance off. help!because of its impact on security this error message cannot be suppressed. you might want to contact the admins of the website where this is occuring and ask them to implement a handling of user input without sending it to a different server...

Sync message, "You have changed the settings for your iphone. Would you like to apply these changes?" What does this mean? I don't recall changing anything...
The main settings that are changed in these cases can be found in this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
To ensure you don't lose any data you don't want taken off, ensure that each Summary, Apps, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, iTunes U, Books, & Photos have the settings you would prefer on the computer.
If anything gets changed on any of those pages, you will be prompted with that message. If they look fine, especially after adding some media like songs or videos, then you can apply the changes without fear.
