New E-mail Addresses

Since Gmail now supports POP3 access, I've decided to give it a more serious try. I've also set up Thunderbird so it automatically forwards any replies sent from Thunderbird to Gmail, which in turn assigns the messages with a "Sent from other clients" label. So basically, I can send messages from my cell phone, from Thunderbird and from the university, and I will always keep both my sent and received mail on the gmail servers. This way, I will never have to be afraid of loosing my e-mail again.

The new e-mail addresses are:

  • Mozilla related: djst dot mozilla
  • Personal: tenser

(@gmail.com, of course.)

Of course, IMAP is really much better suited for the purpose of having remote access to the same data, organized in directories, and having a safe feeling because your precious email is always both on your computer and your server :).

If you set your SMTP server to smtp.gmail.com:587, you'll no longer need to forward your messages to gmail.
