Email problems

[watervole]

Most of my email still isn't getting through.  Richard says it's a problem with UK2.  I had a batch get through yesterday, and then it all dried up again.

Double fun as my voice is still too bad for phone calls.

Grr.

in which case posting here to say, yes, I will be at LX with laptop and mobile broadband. I suspect we had better programme ourselves some time when I see the schedule as we both tend to be busy!

On the other hand, LiveJournal messages should still be working, so I'm going to send you one of those...

I've just had an e-mail reply to you bounce saying "relay not permitted".

I've send a test message from my hotmail account to see if that works.

[rockwell-666.livejournal.com]

UPDATE: Nope, the Hotmail one bounced too :-(

I'll try an LJ message...!

[watervole.livejournal.com]

Wanna bet? The address that LJ forwards to is the one affected.

[watervole.livejournal.com]

Excellent. As soon as you see me (I'm arriving Thursday) we'll compare programes.

[watervole.livejournal.com]

Won't work. Try my old address Judith@blakes-7.com I think that still works.

[rockwell-666.livejournal.com]

Nope, that one bounced too :-(

[sugoll.livejournal.com]

So? You can read them on LJ, can't you? I can read mine there...

I could, but I never read messages on LJ. I get them forwarded to my email. Why waste time hunting through an interface that isn't as useful?

[watervole.livejournal.com]

If I know to go and look for them. Reading LJ messages to the LJ address sucks. You have to wade through all the comments to find the emails. And I normally read the comments by other methods.

It's not an RSI friendly way of doing things. And replying to an LJ message only works if the person sending the message is a paid user.

[sugoll.livejournal.com]

Don't see why you have to go wading - when I log in, the home page tells me how many messages I've got, right there at the top.

[watervole.livejournal.com]

But they're all mixed in with the replies to LJ postings.

[sugoll.livejournal.com]

Not for me.

Home page banner has:
- icon
- A line that reads "SUGOLL account(*) | Help | Logout"
- A line reads "Post | Messages (8) | Friends Page | Invite | Mobile"

And the "Messages" one takes me to my Inbox. Which contains LJ messages, but no reply comments.

Elsewhere on the page, there's the three most recent comments. Which lists only comments on posts, and no LJ messages.

Maybe it's different for you.

Mine is different. Different in what is on the home page and different in what is in my inbox.
