email insanity update

OK, I decided to cough up the $20 fee so I can forward yahoo accounts. Then I realized that yahooplus will only apply to one of my fucking yahoo IDs, so I will still have to check one of them through the yahoo website. RIP. OFF. WHY DOES YAHOO SUCK AND YET REMAIN SO CRUCIAL TO MY EMAILING LIFE??? Fuck. At least I only check 2 websites now instead of 4. Off to play with pretty pretty gmail.

hm, i wonder if there's a difference between yahoo.com and .co.uk? admittedly I don't use forwarding on yahoo, just pop access, but I've never been charged. annoying, eh?

Could you switch the other Yahoo account to a new account with the same first half? Like, years ago I stopped using tesslouise@yahoo.com and started using tesslouise@letterboxes.org (through fastmail.fm). It made the transition easier, and I looove fastmail.

I don't have a mac, but one of my best friends does and he said he loves the mail software on there b/c he has all of this stuff forwarded to one spot and when he emails out he can pick which address it comes from.

Honestly, I check about 6 e-mail accounts a day. Bleh.

I really like the way yahoo can organize e-mail into folders and such, and their spam filter is decent. I like them a lot more than gmail.
