Limitations of Email Discussions

I have never used email as it is not a good fit for me, and has limitations.  But to answer questions properly it would be helpful to know what they see.
Here is what I am assuming they see or don't see.  If incorrect set me straight please, but be gentle.
1.  They do not see any edits made to messages.
2.  They do not see header for Announcements of current issues.
3.  They do not see Link to mark answers "answered" or "helpful".
4.  If you refer them to items in the header like "Adobe Icon", "Adobe Community" link, FAQ, or Popular Discussions they do not see it.
5.  And finally, what do they get when they click "create by email" rather than "start a discussion"?
This was all brought into light yesterday when I suggested OP read Announcement #2 on ACR 7.3 just above the Discussion questions in Photoshop Forum.  He responded back that he could not find Announcement or ACR 7.3  as he lost the link to the Photoshop Discussion Page so please send it.

1.  They do not see any edits made to messages.
Correct. You must visit the forum thread to see any edits made.
2.  They do not see header for Announcements of current issues.
Announcements are also sent out via e-mail, as long as you are subscribed to that forum area. e.g. if you are subscribed to Forums Comments, and someone creates an announcement in here, then you'll get an e-mail with the title and body of that announcement.
3.  They do not see Link to mark answers "answered" or "helpful".
Correct. You must visit the forum thread to see these links.
4.  If you refer them to items in the header like "Adobe Icon", "Adobe Community" link, FAQ, or Popular Discussions they do not see it.
That's correct. I personally try to avoid referring to a specific link (e.g. I say "start a new discussion" rather than "click the Start a discussion link") and if a specific link is needed I try to include that link in my reply. Other people may use other methods to provide context to their replies.
5.  And finally, what do they get when they click "create by email" rather than "start a discussion"?
The "Create by email" link just shows you the e-mail address that you would need to send to in order to create a discussion in that forum area via e-mail. It also gives you the option to download a vCard in order to more easily save this e-mail address as a Contact in your e-mail client.

  • Looking for an email discussion lists script.

    HI! I am looking for a email discussion lists script that
    works on a windows
    platform. I have looked on Google but only found Mailman
    which is good but
    only works on UNIX/Linux. The other I found has to be
    installed via a
    setup.exe which is only good if you own and have direct
    access to your own
    server.
    Does anyone out there know of a email discussion lists script
    in ASP or PHP
    or similar that uses an ms-access or ms-SQL database and
    works on a windows
    platform?

  • Web based vs email discussion lists

    This might not be the right forum, i.e., Safari works great (and if there is a better forum for this, please direct me). I cannot understand why some people cannot tolerate web based discussion groups (much like the apple.com discussion site): they insist on using email discussion groups. I don't mind using email, but I'd rather have everything stored on some web site so I don't need to get extra emails and it's much easier (usually) to search for something on a web based discussion site. Is it like some people can only use cash and cannot use credit cards? Or is there something else I am missing?

    I'd rather have everything
    stored on some web site so I don't need to get extra
    emails and it's much easier (usually) to search for
    something on a web based discussion site.
    Email can be an awfully lot faster and more efficient than logging into various websites, plowing through lists of messages in various forums, finding new ones, waiting for servers and browsers to do their thing, etc. The mailing lists I subscribe to have extremely fast and accurate web-based archive searches that go back as far as anyone would want.
    On the other hand, groups with a high volume of lengthy messages can become very tedious via email, and I think these are better off in web format.
    The important thing is not the format but what you need to accomplish. Anyone who thinks they can get help with Apple stuff from some mailing list or newsgroup that comes anywhere near what is available from this and other web-based forums is badly mistaken, I think.

  • Email discussion groups

    I am building a web site for an over 55 condominium
    community. Some of
    these people struggle with computers. You know what I mean. I
    want to
    give them some sort of discussion group to communicate with
    each other,
    as well as with their board of directors.
    I have tried Yahoo groups, but it is just too difficult for
    many of them
    to figure out how to create an account.
    I have tried a bulletin board system, phpbb, but they don't
    seem to get
    the need to log onto the web site to see messages.
    So, I am trying to institute some sort of listserv email
    discussion
    group, and am wondering if anyone has any recommendations or
    suggestions.
    I have looked at majordomo (sp?) listserv and a few others,
    but the
    installation is daunting, at least to me - compiling c
    programs on a
    unix box is not my forte. I am not sure I could even do that
    with my
    hosting company.
    So, any ideas for a bunch of old, er, elderly people?
    Thanks,
    Harvey

    Thanks. This is for a small private group of owners, so
    existing lists
    won't work, I think. Late last night I found that my hosting
    company
    provides Mailman, so I am looking at that.

  • Limits for email move to archive mailbox?

    Exchange 2010/Outlook 2010
    Is there a limit to how many (or size) for moving emails from Exchange (on premise mailbox) to the Exchange Archive (on premise mailbox) using drag and drop within the outlook client?
    I have a user who says it will work on the first move and fail on the second attempt.  I do not know how much data they are trying to move, I do not have that information.  Is there a limit?  Is that limited by memory, network or some sort
    of limit?  Would cached or non-cached outlook make a difference?

    Hi,
    I suggest to use this command to view statistics for that user's archive.
    Get-MailboxFolderStatistics -Identity usename –Archive
    Then compare the results with
    mailbox archive quota.

  • XML Publisher Bursting Program - limitation of email addresses

    In the XML Publisher Bursting program we were able to add only 3 email addresses(containing 87 characters) the email was sent successfully.
    When we tried to concatenate with another email address (it went up to 115 characters), the email was not sent to any of the email addresses (but the bursting program completed with normal status)
    Is there any limitation in adding the email address in the tag
    <xapi:message id="123" to="[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]" attachment="true" subject="${MAIL_SUBJECT}">${BURST_MAIL_BODY}</xapi:message>
    we also tried changing the bursting control file as below but still we did not receive mail to any of the email addresses

  • Limiting retrieved email size

    I am in Canada and on data roaming, and I turned on the phone when I landed and a 9.3MB file arrived in my email. How can I get the email to ask me if it exceeds 100kb, or somehting like that?

    I would love to know if this is possible as well. I received a "puppy & kitten" picture email while traveling out of the country that cost me $140! I have sent numerous requests to the Apple feedback site.

  • Limited selection of Discussion Boards

    I have been trying to ask a question about Multisim but when I try to select a board, I am only allowed to choose from the boards listed. If I choose "More", a Board Selector is displayed and I can select one of those but then I am taken right back to the post message page with no board selected.
    I have tried with both pop-ups on and off. I am using IE7
    Are there any other settings that could be wrong?

    Please stick to the original post rather than splitting the discussion over two threads, so everything is kept in one place. Thanks.

  • Limiting an email user's send/receive abilities

    We're running Mac OS X Server 10.4.7 on our mail server. Everything is running great.
    What I want to know is if it's possible to set up a special email account (like [email protected]) that can access webmail to communicate with specific @myschool.com addresses (and no others), but cannot talk to the outside world. But I need to make sure all other email accounts continue to work like regular old email accounts that can talk to anyone.
    For example, [email protected] can only send/receive messages to/from [email protected], the math teacher's email address. But [email protected] can send/receive messages to/from anyone. This would be very handy for us.

    Doing so will cause issues. If you send out mail which to an outside server appears to be non existent, mail may be rejected and you may even be blacklisted.
    You can remove the account from WGM and add a role account as an alias send to /dev/null. This will look to the outside world like an existing address, but simply be discarded on your system. You should however include a working address in your mailings for people to be able to respond.
    Assuming you use local domains, edit /etc/postfix/aliases and add:
    noreply: /dev/null
    (you can change noreply with the sender used in your PHP apps, but I'd probably change the PHP apps to use noreply as this signals to people receiving your mails that this address is unattended).
    When done, issue:
    sudo postalias /etc/postfix/aliases
    sudo newaliases
    sudo postfix reload

  • Email attachment size limitation

    My boss has an I-Phone 4.  What is the size limitation of email attachments he can send or receive? Spoke to AT&T who said it is an Apple issue.

    Hi Shaju,
    I would suggest the following solution path:
    Execute the report (or whatever) and catch the output in an internal table. When using abap list output with the SUBMIT statement there's also an option to EXPORT LIST TO MEMORY and such. (I never used it but I've seen it working).
    Then send this output as an attachment (and not as mail text). Attachment are passed "as-is", as long there's not format conversion active for this output. If you name the attachment list.ALF and in SAPConnect you have ALF-->TXT then your attachment's going to be converted. But this should still keep your line-size of > 255.
    Best wishes,
       Florin

  • BT Email servers limiting messages

    My email server is with my host (although I'm with BT as ISP). Recently when sending single emails to BT email addresses, BTInternet and BTWorld I get a message from my host server that the message is delayed, reason "too many emails". From their logs my host says BT are limiting their emails.
    "The technical departement  checked the mail logs and found out  this.
     BT are are rate limiting mails from our servers
     But our servers will try to send upto 30 times."
    Is this congestion on the BT email servers a temporary problem?

    I have flagged this issue up with the mods.
    In the mean time you can login via http://mail.yahoo.com or via http://bt.yahoo.com/ with your BT email address and password.

  • Why is Verizon limiting Spam Filter to only 50 entrees?

    I've been with Verizon (first with DSL and now FIOS) for over 15 years.   Lately, the SPAM has gotten really out of hand and I have realized that the most powerful way to deal with it is to set-up the SETTINGS / E-MAIL OPTIONS / FILTERS inside the Verizon's Webmail website for each .NET account I have and use.
    Believe me, it actully works but of course, the spammers keep changing the spelling of keywords to bypass the filter.  I have had no problem to go in an add "new" keywords about once a week but just now, I got the shock of my life.
    It seems that Verizon is limiting each email address to just 50 filters.   WHY??!?!?!?
    It's not as it you can go logic entry for each keyword (meaning you can specify 10 words in each entry and us AND/OR logic).  You need to use a phrase or just a single word per EACH filter entry.
    How and whom do you suggest I contact to complain about this.  I am considering writing the executive office if I have to.
    This is just so wrong.   When I go in and add filter keywords, I am not taking up Verizon heck of a lot of Verizon's storage, nor am I taking up their time.
    Can someone please tell me if I am missing anything and how can we all get involved in having them moving up the limitation from 50 to at least 200, if not 500!!!!
    - A shocked Verizon user 

    I have been reading these discussions periodically for the past few months and subscribed today just to add my voice to the chorus of customers who find Verizon's silence and inaction on this issue inexcusable.  Verizon email accounts are not free and every Verizon customer knows that we pay through the nose for Verizon FIOS service including the email.  I view it as an insult to consantly see recommendations about "turning the spam filter on", "marking not caught messages as SPAM" and "forwarding not caught messages to Verizon" when none of these actions changes anything as anyone who has done these for months can attest.
    I too have been a Verizon customer for over a decade and only early this year became subjected to the massive onslaught of OBVIOUS spam.  I understand and accept that the spammers change servers everyday and send out the same spam over and over.  However, key word filtering does work so if key word filtering works at the end user level, why can't verizon do it at the server/source level?  Needless to say I too was livid when I discovered that Verizon limited the number of filter rules one can make.  So on the one hand they do minimal filtering (the only SPAM I see get caught is spam that has my username in the subject line and offers of male enhancement remidies), but limit the amount of filtering you can do.  Unfortunately for us customers, as the old saying goes, Membership (in the monopoly club) has its privileges.

  • Lost email messages after rebuild

    This all started when I was trying to help my friend setup a rule for moving messages to and from specific people to a specific folder. Worked all well, but for some reason bunches of old messages started showing the "not downloaded from server" error. So, per Apple and this discussion boards advice I "rebuilt" all of the mailboxes. This fixed the not downloaded issue, but any messages older than one week are now missing from the inbox and sent mail folders. I tried all of the advised techniques...reran rebuild and deleted envelope index file and imported mailboxes...nothing worked. I tried looking at the .emlx files as well and there aren't any older than one week in the inbox or sentbox folders. My friend is (justifiably) freaking out. Any NEW advice? I was thinking of running DataRescue or DiskWarrior to see if I could recover and deleted or missing .emlx files.
    System is a PowerMac G5 1.8ghz, Mac OS 10.4.10, Mail 2.1. Also, none of the mailboxes is even close to approaching mails MB limits. Email account is a POP account and has been setup for at least a few years.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Have you tried searching for the missing messages in Spotlight (not in Mail)?
    If the .emlx files aren’t there, rebuilding mailboxes or re-creating the index isn’t going to make them reappear. If the messages are not on the server either and you don’t have a backup, you may want to try to salvage as many deleted .emlx files as possible with a data recovery tool such as Data Rescue II or FileSalvage. Of these, the only one I know for sure that can currently recover deleted .emlx files is FileSalvage. Stop using the computer right now if you want to try that, as anything you do with it may cause the deleted files to be overwritten.

  • How to set up basic POP email on N8

    I've been reading up on all the email discussions about the N8, and it seems like some things work fine, while others need more development.
    In my case, I would like to set up email using a basic POP email account setup.  I have no need for "push" email right now - as I see it, receiving an email every half hour or so on my phone is an improvement over waiting until I get to my PC.
    Ideally, I would like to leave the messages on my email server, so they will later on be downloaded to my PC.
    I've noticed the following in one of the email discussions here:
    "Cant believe no one else has responded with this before given the time this thread spans. I had this problem until I deleted and re-created my email (POP) accounts and then NOT accept the TOS at the end of the setup process. If you say YES and accept the terms, then your email accts get setup thru the Nokia messaging service and sent emails may get saved somewhere, but certainly not on the phone. You do not have to say yes to the TOS, just decline and finish setting up the email account."
    Since I'm perfectly happy with the way email works on my laptop, using my existing servers, I think I should decline the TOS as described above.
    I've found lots of guides on how to set up email on the N8.  Can anyone here recommend one for how to do (only) what I need, in order to manually set up POP email on a N8, using the identical server information and settings that I now have on my laptop?  Or, if this doesn't exist, can someone post the necessary steps here?
    Thanks!!!

    I have had a little play with this but will just outline what I found seems to happen because I did not thoroughly test it. Others experiences may be different.
    If setting up a new account and one selects one of the listed email service providers and not "Other" then it sets up an IMAP account and gives the choices that Rayhipkiss describes together with the terms and conditions acceptance request. This can be seen after the setting up by looking in the settings for the server (which often, maybe always?, is a nokia.supl.imap one). If one deletes the server and server ports and replaces them with the same email service provider's pop and smtp servers and ports then the same setup choices that Ray mentions still remain. Once the account is set up you can always go back and change the server and port entries in the N8 setup for that account (see below for a difference).
    However, even though one has set the pop ports it still seems to do an imap connection - this can be tested by setting up a Gmail account where one can turn off and on allowing imap server connections in the settings on ones Gmail account's setting on the webmail site. One finds that disallowing imap connections but allowing pop connections blocks the N8 even if one has entered the pop servers and ports on the N8.
    Now, if when setting up the account on the N8 one selects "Other" it normally (see below) gets one to enter the address and pass for the account and then goes straight to allowing you to enter the servers and ports. Now if one enters these and it then takes one straight to the client for you to collect and send email. But now if you go back into settings for that account one gets the setting choices that I outlined i.e. the one that includes "Don't sync to server". If set up as a pop account it seems to behave as a pop account - for example, if one turns on the imap servers at the Gmail denying pop connections then if one tries to collect mail Gmail comes back with a certificate error (the certificate is for imap not pop). Unlike the settings menu giving the other settings Ray outlines this settings menu does not allow one to nominate a reply to address different to the address sent from and nor does it allow one to go back and change the server and ports. To change the server and ports as far as I can see if set up this way one has to reset up the account from the start.
    OK, even stranger, then what I found is if I set up an account using the offered service providers, not using the "Other" choice then deleted that account and then reset up the same account using the "Other" choice it then behaved as Ray outlines including the terms and conditions acceptance request and also behaves as an imap account even if one enters the pop servers and ports. So the "Other" account setup choice seems to behave differently according to whether one has previously setup that account using one of the non "Other" service provider choices or not?????
    I don't know if anyone wants to experiment further and discover more or clarify the behaviours. I just did some quick playing around so did not analyse it much, however the above is the general gist of what I found. It is sometime since I set up email accounts on my E52 but from memory it behaved much the same way as the N8 does and is generally weak on handling pop accounts - in fact I would suggest that many who think they are using pop servers will find that behind the scenes it is really using imap ones.
    A real downer for me is for a pop account there seems to be no way to set up a reply to address in the sent emails that is different to the address sent from. This need for me being due to the way I manage emails across several machines.
    I'm off to have a beer
