In connection with a grand reworking of my whole email operation, I'm being urged on comp.mail.pine to give up the use of adelphia.net (which I only wish I could replace in toto!) for email. (I already do the vast majority of my email on a remote IMAP machine, which I access from my adelphia account; the project is to revise things so that, among other benefits, I can handle that from within the remote account.)
I've been using adelphia for two purposes. Mostly, it's just a spamtrap -- though my usenet posts produce a fair number of direct replies which I'd hate to be without. A minor point is that an address like <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> is a lot easier for people whom I first encounter in the flesh to hear, spell, and remember than my main one. But the main reason I'm using it at all is that, in order to access adelphia's newsfeed (subcontracted to giganews), afaik I have to give my adelphia address and password -- and Pan then also uses that as my posting address -- which is of course what makes it primarily a spamtrap. So if I were to abandon that address, would Pan be able to use some other in some way?? Or would I have to find another newsfeed provider?? -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck, Double Retiree, Not Quite Clueless Linux Power User : Fedora Core 5 [etc] I have precious (very precious) little idea where up is. _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
