Need email forwarding? SoodoNims might be for you

OK, so a while back, due to spam, the administrator of a message board I frequent blocked Gmail. For a while, I used Yahoo Mail, but it’s a bit of a pain to forward everything manually (I got quite a few PM notifications, and I like to keep them for memories.)

So after a while, I found SoodoNims. Exactly what I needed, automatic email forwarding. If you need it, you can also delete the emails after a while or block certain domains (e.g. spam).

Oh, and one good thing: Just today, for some reason the emails weren’t coming through. I sent a quick email to the administrator, less than 2 hours later, it’s working again (and I even got the ‘missing’ emails!)

Another thought about Yahoo Mail/Gmail/Thunderbird.

If you could use YPOPs to get all your mail into Thunderbird, you might be able to copy them all to your Gmail account. Then again, you may not. I don’t use Thunderbird myself, so I wouldn’t know.

Anybody had luck with this?

Send fake emails with deadfake

This thing is great for pranks — I occasionally send emails to friends making it look like they emailed themselves. It’s for use for mischief, not malice — and I don’t recommend sending one to your straight-laced boss!

Sick of chain letters? Check out BreakTheChain.org

Every so often, you may get an email from a friend that probably has a zillion emails and says something like “WATCH OUT FOR THIS VIRUS!?!?!?!?! IT MAKES YOUR COMPUTER EXPLODE WHEN YOU OPEN AN EMAIL?!?!?!?!!?”

Okay, not exactly. A virus can’t cause the computer to explode — that would require faulty hardware, such as an overheating power supply. And you can’t get viruses simply by opening an email. Emails are text-only. You would have to open an attachment.

That is one example of a chain letter. If you’re like me, you’re getting sick of them. BreakTheChain.org is a resource about chain letters, such as examples of letters and why you shouldn’t send them. Check it out..
