Uh, nicely plagiarized

I'm not sure that is the same issue I am having. Here is the issue and workaround: http://www.inertramblings.com/2006/03/09/mailapp-a nd-courier-imap-the-message-could-not-be-saved/

It is specifically with Courier IMAP, and it is using Maildir. I no longer have control over it since I switched to a hosting provider (Dreamhost) for IMAP. I had the same problem when I ran Courier w/ Maildir on my own server.

What IMAP server do you use?

As I said, you're lucky if you haven't had problems. My problem is related to the IMAP server I am using (which I don't have control over since its hosted), but I don't know if its a problem with the server or Mail.app, but the simple fact of the matter is that all other mail clients I have tried "just works" and Mail.app doesn't. Here is the problem and workaround: http://www.inertramblings.com/2006/03/09/mailapp-a nd-courier-imap-the-message-could-not-be-saved/

Unfortunately, the workaround doesn't work that well, and is useless for 2 accounts.

Seems its a problem specific to Courier IMAP. I don't know if its a configuration issue or not. Maybe I will try it with a local Courier IMAP server I used to run before I switched to hosting (had the same problem with that one, though the workaround did work in that case). Have you had luck getting Mail.app working specifically with Courier?

So what you're saying is that I want to pepper my comments with random links in hopes that people can find my pet hedgehog?

America Online: A sucker born every minute...

According to a corporate press release dated June 16, 2000, America Online has surpassed the 23 million member mark. Founded in 1985, AOL has been a household name to novice computer users worldwide. Unfortunately, many of these novices don't know that they're only seeing a small portion of the Internet and are being limited by AOL's proprietary and archaic interface.

Now, it's fairly safe to make the assumption that at least a quarter of AOL's 23 million customers are simply short-term users along for the free trial or jumping from service to service looking for the best deal. And, using that same line of thinking, roughly half of those 17.25 million remaining customers are probably smart enough to see AOL for what it really is and cancel their service in a desperate fit of fight or flight.

That leaves approximately 8.63 million customers that use AOL as their primary Internet Service Provider, give or take a random three quarter million people at any given time signing up or canceling. With this in mind, and approximately 7.88 million minutes in AOL's 15 year history, this proves that a sucker really is born every minute.

Ha. I just bought it because I'm in it (a victim of a spammer sending as my domain).

Any response from the time traveller?. Seems this job would be right up his alley.

"When people start feeling that what they're doing is not meaningful, then they take more sick days, begin looking for another job, and complain of health problems."

Yup. I've noticed this a lot, especially with previous contract gigs I had where I was surrounded by younger more inexperienced guys. And this article really hits home since I just put in a 100+ hour work week. Now, if you don't mind, I'll go crawl under my desk and die. :)

Like all good bond adversaries, this one won't die.

And, like all good Bond adversaries, this one has a nice secret hideout in Woburn. The 4 Oak St. address in his whois info is bogus. 4 Oak St. doesn't even exist. Oh, no, I found his secret hideout by scouring Google, showed up on his doorstep, and he denied being Robert Todino. Jim Todino, however, seemed to be quite perturbed by the fact that I was standing there.

It was amusing at the time but, now that you mention Bond, it's laugh out loud funny. I had the tall and extremely badass looking trenchcoat-clad sinister villain (Robert, I presume) standing in the doorway with the smaller sidekick (Jim) behind him covering his back. Like most adversaries, the sinister villain was cool and collected where the sidekick was stumbling for words.

Wacky.

Anyway, my account of being one of the forgery victims of Robert is on my blog.

Yeah...that's the first thing I thought of. I actually got this info off of IRC and did a Google search for related information to report on my blog. Since most of the timestamps on old USENET posts were months old, I figured it was old news but still thought to myself, wouldn't it be funny if Slashdot picked up the story and took out their Web server as well?

Hrm...be careful what you wish for... ;)

As discussed here, an intrepid blogger actually went to one of the pickup points. What he observed was somewhat... strange.
