Nope.

Who does everyone use for email? I'm dumping Centurylink and will have Starlink this week. I will need a new email service.

I maintain several email addresses through different providers. Yahoo, Gmail and Proton. Yahoo is the public account that gets used for sales. Gmail is a less public address and there are several Proton accounts that are private.

Morning folks! ️

GM friends. Looking forward to a 3 day work week.

Good Monday morning to ya folks. Been a minute. Life’s been busy.

Had a great aunt pass away, which made me remember I had a bunch of pictures of her family to send to them, I had completely forgotten about them with having a baby and all… But it reignited some genealogy research I had been doing a couple years back. So the Mrs. and I have been solving mysteries.

Sorry to hear about you great aunt. But the research you did will sure be invaluable to her family.

Good mornin', gangsters !
RH .... my sympathy for the loss of a family member.

 

[hANNAbONE]

Sorry to hear about your family member Rusty - I will pray for the repose of her soul and for the remaining family.

 

[RustyHornet]

Thank you folks. Unfortunately not as close as I would have liked to be with them, they live down south and have for decades, but I do cherish the times I was able to meet her and her husband. Only wish now that I would have started sooner in my quest to learn family history as she was the last surviving child and the only other, my grandfather died before I was born…

But I believe I have located a distant cousin that lives close that may be able provide some answers to people we are looking to name in some old photographs. Taking the honor of “keeper of the family photos and history” seriously. Truly interesting stuff.

Sorry for your loss, Rusty. Funerals are not fun.

My parents have started cleaning out their closets......big house, full basement. They have over 50 of those slide reels with 50+ slides in each of them???? My Wife wants to move most of them to digital format............at least with old guns you have a blast!!!
big PUFF of smoke......and a muzzle ball or mini ball to hit something......like a watermelon!!!!!

I maintain several email addresses through different providers. Yahoo, Gmail and Proton. Yahoo is the public account that gets used for sales. Gmail is a less public address and there are several Proton accounts that are private.

There is the concept of aliases in Outlook.com https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...look-com-459b1989-356d-40fa-a689-8f285b13f1f2

And you can torch the alias should you choose to.

Makes it pretty handy to have multiple email addresses with a single account (without needing to forward, etc), though you can create a rule and funnel all that email that was going to a particular email address to a particular folder, etc rather than inbox. Kind of handy for the scenario you and others have mentioned.

 

[WebSnyper]

That's pretty much the same as me. When setup right I like the Gmail interface the best (turn off conversations as I think that's dumb).

I'm so used to using Outlook app at work, that the interface on Outlook.com works the best for me. I actually like conversation view as it keeps all the email together on a given conversation, like a forum thread for me. Not sure if it's the same from a gmail perspective.

Funerals suck but are part of the circle of life. Sorry for your loss.

The public library in the next city has equipment for free use to digitize a variety of analog formats. Only investment is time to do it. Might check out libraries near you for similar services. In our case they will let you use equipment with an Indiana Evergreen card—does not have to be your local library.

 

[Lee11b]

Ive our local library is part of the Indiana Evergreen libraries. Thanks for the info, Born2vette!!!!
