I went to my P.O. Box (you know – that thing at the post office) and there were credit card solicitations and circulars from the grocery store and hardware store. I said to postal worker- “Hey, can’t you do something about this?” Well, the answer was no. If somebody pays to have soemthing sent to you, then the post office is obliged to deliver it.

I got a call today to help a client whose email just stopped sending. Bad news, since I personally just set up her new email accounts a handful of days ago. I rearrange my day, drive over; check it out. Yep, it won’t send. The email client (Outlook) on their desktop machine constantly asks for the login info. I finally eliminated all other possibilities (including deleting the account I so very recently installed) and since the error persisted I concluded that it MUST be the ISP – give them a call. So the client called them. To make a long story short – the ISP made changes without telling anyone. My client called and there was a voice mail stating the same. Sigh. Thanks.

All this time, while my client was on the phone, I was exploring their brand new Windows 7 laptop – looking for the email client – such as outlook – so I could setup email on that new computer. I looked, and looked and looked. Am I dumb or what? I can’t find any email client. Feeling quite low IQ, I searched the internet. It seems Windows 7 doesn’t have an email client installed ….

Downloading Thunderbird and installing. Nice.

What IS Microsoft thinking with that?
