Yahoo Mail

  1. As has happened so many times, I cannot send email.

    I use Yahoo mail software as they are my email provider. Occasionally, well quite often ,in fact, Mr Strop comes from above and fecks me over

    It's only fecking email and I am not advocating the end of the World,or anything.

    So good email software for Android - or maybe I should just ditch Android?

    I've got Gmail, so I will give that ago.
     
  2. Ditch Yahoo.

  4. Gmail worked fine. When I get home i will l go fully on Gmail and start changing stuff over.. ironically, I just used Gmail to email my solicitor, saying I couldn't handle shit

    I'm still annoyed about losing £5000 and feel ready for all the shi that will follow!

    I may of got things wrong and be thankful that it was "only £5k pissed up against the wall but part of the money was for brain damage, so I have an excuse!
     
  5. I've been using Fastmail for a couple of decades. Paid for is the way to go if you want reliability. I also use Proton Mail - Swiss, and probably the most privacy-conscious email provider - like a Swiss bank account. That one I'm using the free version of - which you can set up to get the mail from your other providers, such as Yahoo and Gmail. Both Fastmail and Proton Mail can run from an app on your phone.

  7. “There is no longer Swiss bank client confidentiality for clients abroad,” the Swiss Bankers Association (SBA) said, adding that automatic exchange of banking information has “become the norm – for both banks and bank clients”.

    “Swiss banks have done their homework and implemented all international regulations. We are transparent, there is nothing to hide in Switzerland.”
     
  8. They would say that, wouldn't they.

    Anyway the point is they're not in any of the surveillance-obsessed blocs.
     
  9. I really don't care about privacy. Anyone can snoop on my shit.

    I broke a golden rule of my new life and got angry about something that I can do nothing about. The problem was at the other end and their email hardware.

    And my solicitor/trustee was off last week.

    My elder brother thinks that I should be more calm about losing money, but I remain unconvinced. Who knew before the current crisis, that iran controlled the World economy? It's not Wall Street or City, or even Hong Kong! It's a few rag heads around the camp fire in Iran. Every day is a learning day!

  11. I've got an iPhone Air at home. I'm going to get my main number changed to an eSIM whist I am in the UK so have a bit of Apple. Android is no great sheiks and I could do with a change.

  14. Misc pictures, including Santander Bank in Santander!
     
  15. Now I have discovered that the email problem was at the other side and nothing to do with Yahoo Mail, I am just going to continue with what I was doing. That is a hybrid approach using Yahoo Mail and Google Mail

    I guess that both will work on Apple IOS as well.

    It was Always my aim to go more Apple anyway, just for a change.
