  1. MailManager and PopFile on How Do You Organize Your Data? · · Score: 1

    I am using a new tool called MailManager, see sourceforge . Over the last month I received over 6000 emails, half of them curtesy of SoBig and Friends. The MailManager tool allows me to share my MailBox on the Web with collegues, who will process mail while I am out.

    I have started using popfile (also on sourceforge) to classify my my mail before I look at it. Thus viruses, web-site logs, bounced emails, out of office replies etc are marked as 'spam' (MailManagers term, no offence intended to virus writers). Spam is automatically deleted after a week days (long enough for me to look at the subjects incase a real message is wrongly classified).

    The result of this pair of products are....

    • I can now go on holidays as my collegues will process my mail
    • We all know what was processed
    • My mail is prioritised before I read it
  2. Re:If anyone wants a good python book... on Python 2.3 Final Released · · Score: 1

    I have read a number of books on python over the years. Last year I bought 'Python Programming Patterns'. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who is already experienced in programming. It literally goes into very deep detail about many many features of the language.

  3. Users message to the XFree team/project on The XFree86 Fork() Saga Continues · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This thread is really exciting with lots of agression being worked out. I need to point out that XFree86 has been really fabulous for me. I have used Linux since 95 (Caldera, Redhat, now Suse) and I could not be as productive as I am without it. I have never had a problem with the windows. (I use KDE). I read my mail (kmail), browse the web (Mozilla/Konqueror). But mostly I use xterm/kconsole. I may not be in a majority, but I am one of a sizable number of users (English speaking) who don't experience any of the problems described in this thread. I don't want to go on, but You guys have done a fantastic job. Work it out. As dogbert would say, 'try to separate the personality from the problem'.
