Coffee is probably at least as popular, if not more so, these day. I like both, but not that foul shit that calls itself "instant coffee". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legov Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Whatever but it is the way most of us pronounce it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 But Mrs M isn't a northern monkey, she's a Devonian, with actually a rather posh accent. I think we need to get a cunning linguist in, to sort this one out. To my mind, one 'should', if you're pronouncing it as say the Queen would, rhyme with gone. And won with gun. I don't have soundcard so can't hear what this sounds like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted July 24, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted July 24, 2012 Spent the last hour changing all the port, pop3, smtp, passwords on the office computers (for Outlook Express) so finally get them receiving and sending e-mails again. :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to sit back, have a sip, and dream about our colonial past. I can only stomach coffee if I'm extremely drunk, and need a strong kick.

I've always used Outlook Express. There's nothing wrong with it at all. Does the job. Easy to navigate. Plus we're running XP 2002 software.

Genie Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 couple of years ago my employers changed from Outlook, with a 30mb mailbox limit to Google Mail, with a 25GB mailbox limit. I much prefer it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 24, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted July 24, 2012 Ditto to Tamuff's statement (being as we work at the same place!) GMail is better, despite a few early teething problems. Doesn't stop the old guard complaining (still) that Outlook was better But FWIW, despite GMail being better, Outlook was fine too. Just a few less bells and whistles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are using 365, why not use the webmail? All the bells and whistles from outlook and then some, plus, no local configuration for you to do next time they decide to change something. And browser independent in the last release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Meh, if it ain't broke I ain't gonna fix it. If I did change to the webmail though is there anyway I could migrate all of my current e-mails into it? I've obviously got hundreds of emails saved in different folders for different suppliers / customers / quotes and need to access them for reference. Also, wouldn't I have to access the webmail over IE/FF/Opera or something rather than having a stand alone program for the emails? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tegis Posted July 24, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted July 24, 2012 Meh, if it ain't broke I ain't gonna fix it. Your call If I did change to the webmail though is there anyway I could migrate all of my current e-mails into it? I've obviously got hundreds of emails saved in different folders for different suppliers / customers / quotes and need to access them for reference. If you have downloaded them through pop and not left them on the server you have to re-upload them with imap, it will (in theory) do the same folderstructure you have locally. I guess you use a local backup-softvare for your computer but if you leave mail on the server you get the remote security as well if you disk goes kaboom. Also, wouldn't I have to access the webmail over IE/FF/Opera or something rather than having a stand alone program for the emails? Yes, but so what. You get the same thing in the browser. Offline access in a bother though if you only use webmail. That needs a client and imap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted July 24, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted July 24, 2012 I use Outlook both at work and at home. If I'm checking my work emails from home (or elsewhere), I use Horde Webmail. I also have a GMail account that I use occasionally. No preferences. It's like driving different cars - I'm aware of differences between them, but provided they get me from A to B, I'm not bothered.

tonyh29 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 According to the Queen's English, One should rhyme with gone, and Won with Done. One thymes with gun surely ?? I moaned about the Northernisation of the BBC a few hundred pages ago , i keep shouting at the radio to correct them when they start mispronouncing the English language the BBC seems to go through trendy phases , they had their Irish Accent is wonderful flirt and then the Manc one , now they seem to be in full Ecky-Thump mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
