Email Problems*

EDIT: {Orchestrates world-wide fireworks and dancing in the streets!}

 I have finally got email delivered to my desktop. I had to go on line and check out some information about Mozilla Thunderbird, but now it sends and receives.
AND, to show you I am semi-up-to-date, this morning I downloaded a ringtone to my cell phone. So now it plays "Hallelujah!" by Handel!
I think I mentioned I had a massive email crash? All thanks to Eudora which, altough I had the paid version, I dumped and flushed. It was always a bit persnickety but I thought I had got it under control by only keeping stuff I really needed to keep and by compressing the mailnoxes EVERY time I closed it down. Before I got rid of it, I did manage to find and print out all the files that had email addresses in them.

So, I remembered that years ago, I had Pegasus and liked it. I downloaded the newest version but although I can receive email, I cannot send it.   I know what it is. Verizon requires that one "authenticates" the email program and I cannot find the little check box to do this. I know it is there somewhere but can’t find it! Anyone out there who uses Pegasus and who knows where this little box is will be much appreciated if you leave me a note being specific about how I can get to it. {If it is under "options" I have overlooked it several times!}  I can still get my email by going to Verizon’s email site which is, of course, what I will have to do when I am in Italy. So, I am looking at this not as an inconvenience but as a practice for what I will have to do for 6 weeks in September! {But I still prefer having the mail downloaded to my desktop!}

I have also downloaded Mozilla’s Thunderbird. I was thrilled to find the authenticate box under "Options" which is where I expected to see it. But {insert a deep sigh here} I am running into problems with my Verizon password. I get Firefox to remember all my passwords except the bank and credit card ones and so I actually couldn’t remember what my damned Verizon password WAS! So, I went to Verizon and changed it. Of course, that may take "up to four hours" to percolate through the system but maybe I will be able to get mail on my desktop eventually.

QUOTATIONS FOR THIS MONTH: Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
