managing email
January 13th, 2009
There are changes afoot, which you may have noticed, with occasional glitches or the lack of anything at this address. Basically I have been working on a variety of things behind the scenes, whilst attempting to keep everything looking as normal as possible in the mean time.
Unfortunately though I have been left with very little time to actually update the blogs, so I’m hoping you can maybe help with the process I’m going through at the minute.
The final stage is email. With new domains and new hosting everything is pretty much up in the air and so I’v e been looking at new ways of managing my mail for all the addresses and domains I maintain. I am certainly thinking of cutting it down to just one, or in some cases two for each domain, though it still requires some form of good management to look after.
Previously I had used my original GMail address to manage everything, domain addresses forwarded to the GMail address and I can send mail from those addresses. The problem with this is that some mail clients, such as Outlook tracks that the email has been signed and does the entire “on behalf of” thing. But Yahoo Mail does not.
It’s quite frustrating to discover that my private GMail account has been given out rather than simply the domain-based address. And so I’ve decided to look for something different. Based around GMail, of course, the chosen method must be able to handle all domains and alert me on the desktop when I have new mail.
I’m curious about how everyone else manages their mail before I choose what I am going to use. If you could help me out by completing the little poll below that’d be great. Feel free to add extra info in the comments.
