It's easier than filing/deleting as needed. Especially with good search. When I filed on the Apple Magsafe class action settlement, the only thing that got me my $79 was that I still had an 6 year old email.
And the reason I care is that my Voicemails come to a folder on my IMAP server via Asterisk. And I don't have to open the voicemail WAV file in a different program. A player is embedded at the bottom of the message.
I really would like it if a few more mail clients did what Apple Mail does. Most mail clients only show photos as inline attachments. Apple Mail will display any attachment - even a PDF file - inline.
But when you shut down an IMAP server, it tells connected clients to disconnect. Much different than a lost connection which is restored. A lot of mail clients have a similar problem of never trying again.
That's the one thing they get right - every message is it's own file.
But if you want to attach a photo, it gets uploaded to Microsoft's cloud storage and the recipient gets a link (where I believe they have to sign up just to download). THIS is the reason to abandon Live Mail.
imapsync or pop2imap. You can sync via IMAP to either a local server or to a maildir. Or use POP if you want to keep even the deleted messages (but that won't keep copies of outbound messages).
If you use Google as your Calendar and Contacts, you get support on Android out of the box, and CardDAV and CalDAV elsewhere. Works great on OS X for syncing with their built in clients.
I really think that CardDAV and CalDAV are robust enough to be supported anywhere, if only more people would adopt it.
To get Outlook contacts to Thunderbird, you might use Gmail as a proxy. They have specific support for the variation of CSV that Outlook creates. And then add it to Thunderbird via CardDAV (and then transfer to local if you intend not to use a server-based option). It gets a lot more complicated if you want picture data on your contacts. I'm not sure if Outlook exports base64 picture data in their CSV or not.
You seem to be one of the younger crowd who doesn't even understand why you should store your mail locally instead of counting on somebody else to keep it backed up (the "cloud"). Good luck using multiple clients with one local datastore.
You can back up IMAP locally (e.g. imapsync) or you can run your own mail server. Or even a hybrid approach where you outsource outgoing/incoming email, but proxy it through your own mail server via POP to have a more permanent IMAP server and backup.
Lots of choices out there. No reason to not have access to your email all your devices in the current age.
Plenty do (electronically converted to ACH, anyway). Generally bigger businesses who can easily afford the equipment, but it's not that expensive to get instant verification of funds.
remind them that their contract (almost certainly) prohibits operating servers using Cox residential internet service.
Completely unconscionable terms in any Internet contract, even if they're omnipresent. The Internet's a two-way street (like telephone, common carrier). Let's not have people on Slashdot advocating truly turning the Internet into a consumption-only medium.
The main reason that no-server rule should ever be a clause in the contract is to allow them to take actions against spammers. Any other action taken on that is abuse. For one, you could be running a "server" just because you ran software that does UDP hole punching. And let's not forget UPnP that's turned on by default on a lot of routers. And that's to say nothing of home security cameras, remote desktop, and even just SSH to your own personal server or personal VPN connections to home.
Even Skype tends to want to make you run as a server.
I usually encode my own video, so it's possible even the pro version doesn't let you take in your pre-encoded video and dolby digital audio and let it go through unchanged. I might try sometime.
Iceberg isn't always wilted. Sometimes it's fresh. Try to find a heavy head. It's the better flavor choice for a BLT, in my opinion. And good to mix with darker greens for a fuller salad.
The main reason that Christians and Jews and many other religious people are no longer violent (en masse anyhow) is because the violence we’re seeing now with Islam already happened with those other religions. The maintream groups have been there and done that and have matured past it. Perhaps in another 500 years, Islam will mature (perhaps through a lot of natural selection) to the point where it becomes an inherently peaceful religion.
I'm surprised that internal email systems don't have a method of shutting down "Reply-All Storms" (I coined a phrase! Tee he!). All you'd have to do is put a filter on the Message-ID and any email that's in reference to it with more than one recipient could be deleted (with an email back to the original sender saying so).
Looks like Sony sells just the authoring software standalone for $39.95. Same one that's in Movie Studio Suite. But having played with Sonic Scenarist, and worked with DVD Studio Pro, I don't know if I could handle using something at the iDVD level with basic themes and graphics imports. If Apple had backed Blu-Ray instead of HD-DVD, DVD Studio Pro would be useful for Blu-Ray. It has full HD-DVD authoring.
That leaves me with DVD Architect Pro from the Sony side. Not too bad at $199. But I've been out of the video production game for a while. No idea if I'll ever need it. I do have a Blu-Ray burner, though. I've only used it for ripping my movie collection.
But you logged into Slashdot from that same VPN and DICE gave them the user id behind that IP and they'll just troll you until you slip up.
Assuming the VPN provider didn't rat you out first, in which case they get the Starbucks wifi IP and then your MAC address. Did you pay cash for your laptop? If not, the MAC address is probably on file somewhere with the serial number of your laptop, assuming you didn't replace the wireless card. And the credit card details lead to your billing address.
There are all sorts of ways. But most likely, Starbucks is going to get the letter and end up in jail instead.
Or Netflix doesn't save much money with this and they're only saving it to bump up share prices at the holidays so some smart execs can sell off a few shares.

Thunderbird's search is horrible. If I'm using Thunderbird, I'll open the gmail web site to do my searches.

Keep an IMAP client synced. There, now you have local backup.

That's OK. The bulk of your calories come from bacon so you're being environmentally friendly here.
You mean roughage? Yeah, don't trust urban dictionary for your spelling. Ruffage sounds like something a dog would eat when it's sick.

What makes you think seafood isn't meat? They're vegetarian, not Catholic.

So the Crusades had nothing to do with Muslim Conquests?

I replied, basically asking them "WTF?" and wondered if they were as careless with their SCADA systems...
I'm sure it would have taken down your email for an afternoon, but you should have just replied-all to get the ball rolling.
Or if you're a pedant, a 302 would be the thing to do.
Because GRUB developers had 0 days to develop a patch because it was already known from the outside. They can exist far longer and still be zero-day.
