  • INPUT: Honestly, POP email is the bane of my existence…

    Seriously, is there ANYTHING more frustrating like trying to get your POP and SMTP stuff set up correctly for a bunch of different email addresses?

    I love the convenience of being able to just have one application collect all my email addresses. I love having my address book on my computer, iTouch… (and someday my iPhone)

    But I absolutely cannot stand the retardedness that is POP / SMTP. I mean seriously, could it work any worse? Is it just that Mac Mail is a piece of crap? Or is it an issue with servers and things?

    I really don’t know a thing when it comes to trouble-shooting my email. All I know is that for some stupid reason I can NOT set all my outgoing smtp servers to their respective email addresses; for some reason it ONLY works if I have ALL my email addresses use just ONE smtp. And every now and then, in fact on a regular basis, it just STOPS WORKING. I can recieve emails fine, but can’t send them. Not from any address, not to any address.

    I have an @ juno.com email address that uses authsmtp, an @ mydomain.com email hosted through yahoo so I have smtp.bizmail.yahoo, an email @blueshoephoto for my work with eric which has NEVER had it’s own working SMTP, and a RTS gaming team email that uses dgdnnet.ipower as it’s SMTP.

    Tell me my friends, is there a better way? Do I dump this mac and use MS Outlook? Do I get Entourage? Do I get gmail? I have a gmail account, I just never used it because I’m too lazy to try and switch main email addresses for the 2nd / 3rd time in my life…

  • NEWS: Adobe Lightroom 2.0 = Earth Shaking Advancement?

    Okay, that was fun. The theory is, with a bunch of these little 5.8 deals, we’ll avoid the big, bad 8.0 or something… Hope that’s the case!

    Anyway, Adobe just finalized their Lightroom 2.0 program. You should try it out, it’s got a lot of improvements, namely the localized (brush) tools, for burning / dodging, and a couple other things.

    (I REALLY hope they include this feature in Bridge CS4, cause I still can’t acclimate my brain to the way Lightroom works…)

    Take care,
