Guest Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Guys, If you ever have the choice try using an IMAP account instead of POP3. Your mail and folders stay on the server and switching e-mail clients or computers is incredibly simple. If you want to try it have a look at fastmail or myrealbox, Two providers that give you free IMAP and webmail. I kept telling my brother to try it but he didn't and now he lost his entire mail archive due to a hard disk crash. Regards, Xenna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 That's a good one! I have a Toshiba too (my 3 rd one now; a smaller one with a mobile processor, btw the two others crashed and became too old). Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soongmak Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Sounds like one mean motherf***er of a computer! How much did you pay for this jewel? I am willing to trade my GF! :hubba: Cheers, soongmak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli13 Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 having a few myrealbox'es already, but used to the patchy reliability of access I'm very thrilled with fastmail's service, which even includes alliases i.e. virtual extra email names time will tell how reliable the service is though...

BelgianBoy Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 SOONGMAK & Peter, Thanks for the interest......... Actually I bought my first Toshiba in 1998, a PII - 11" machine that I paid 2400 Euroo + VAT at that time, I was happy with it, but its too slow and too small memory now at the time that I bought it, it was top of the bill in tech and in price !!! This one will hopefylly last me for 5-6 years .... I'm paying 2315 Euro + VAT and need to pay in 60 days..... Apparantly the first machine available in Belgium will be mine....... BTW, you can take the keyboard out, its wireless :) Cheers ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkokbutcher Posted August 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Says SOONGMAK: Hi BB, Open Outlook Express and rightclick on your Inbox. Then click "properties". What you will find under properties is the exact location of your Inbox. It is probably some incredible long path name that should end with something like Inbox.dbx. To make sure you won't forget the path name, copy and paste it into Notepad. Now open the explorer and try to find the map containing the Inbox. There you will find also your Outbox file etc. Burn them on a Cd and replace the inbox file (Inbox.dbx) on your new computer with the old messages. Should work fine now. Cheers, soongmak P.s.: Let me know if it worked! Cheers Soongmak , your method has proven to work fine for me. Thanks for the tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkokbutcher Posted August 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Says Old Hippie: Could you just email them to yourself, and open them in the new computer and save them? I have done this tranfering from one account to another... Hi OH, this idea would have been fine if I didnt have so many emails to transfer (approx 3000, seriously!). So unfortunately I will have to take the longer trickier route to success ::. thanks anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkokbutcher Posted August 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Says Straycat: I guess he could -- but it's really not recommendable if one has filed e-mails in several folders according to a certain system (biz here, wife here, thai girls here and so on ). Also, resending e-mails to oneself will mess up "send from" headers and it can be difficult to find the e-mails you want to read again...but for small quantities of e-mails it sure is a swift way to transfer You have me sussed to a T, straycat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
