Re: Relationships with Random Strangers

Yeah, it's funny that what was inherently viewed as an anti-social behaviour (spending long hours on the computer) is in fact opening up new ways of experiencing emotions.

The other thing that weirds me out is when you try to refer to these people in another conversation. You say "these people I know" or "some friends on the internet", but you're not friends, but you feel as though you are. One day someone will come up with a term for those (non) relationships.

You should be able to copy your emails from your gmail IMAP folders over to your MobileMe account, and then have access to your archive.

octopus, you're right. Any mail sent directly to your MobileMe account will bypass the gmail accounts. Of course, you could setup a rule in Mail.app to forward any messages sent to an @me.com account to your gmail account, and then archive them. I prefer to only have the one gmail address that I give out, so this isn't the biggest problem.

Joel, Unless you enable gmail in mail.app, you won't see those emails. One way around this is to enable gmail in Mail.app, and then copy all your gmail archived mails over to your MobileMe account, and then disable gmail. Of course, you'll then have 2 copies of everything (even though you'll only see one), but that's a good thing.

rima, go into the Settings application on your iPhone, choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars”, choose MobileMe and then you should have the option to choose which SMTP server you want to use. For reference, look at the screenshots above. If you can't find it, please let me know.

This was a while ago now, but from memory it was before I had started using passenger/mod_rails. Thanks for the comment though :)

Ismail, glad I could help. It wasn't a good night when I ran into this problem. On a deadline (of course), and nothing was making any sense. So, at least something good came out of it :)

Re: The Slow Decline of Internet Explorer and Slower Rise of Firefox - Jordan Brock - Pith.

I definitely have a "near enough is good enough" attitude towards IE6. Somethings just aren't possible, or would require too much time for little reward to implement. I spent a bit of time on the home page, because obviously that's the most graphical and most important, but otherwise, as long as the content is (mostly) visible.

I would expect that if it drops to 10% or so of total usage, I'd consider dropping support for it entirely. And if it started getting close to that figure, I might display a message recommending that people upgrade.

Hey there Dean! Welcome to the blogging world!

But if you disable your gmail account, then you shouldn't see the message that appears in your gmail.

jaydee,

There's no option to do this in the web app as yet.

Luca, I haven't been able to "Send As" anyone other than my gmail account on the iPhone as yet. I don't get a drop down to choose from.

MobileMe is an IMAP service. I'm assuming there's just a display difference between 10.5.X and 10.4.X.

When you say that you're not able to list your other email addresses, do you mean in the "Email Address" field? You should just be able to include them all as a comma separated list.

Of course, this may not be something that you're able to do under Tiger. I'm sorry, but I don't have access to a Tiger machine so I can't really help out. Any one else?

The simplest way is to, before you disable Gmail in Mail.app on your computer, copy all of the messages from Gmail across to your MobileMe account. Because each server is an IMAP server, you should just be able to copy between the two, just like copying files between two folders. Then, once you've copied everything, just disable Gmail again.

If you set the SMTP server on your iPhone to smtp.gmail.com, the message will, by default, be sent from your gmail address. You only need to configure additional addresses if you want to send from a non-gmail address.

You won't be able to use the web version of MobileMe to send email in this way.

As I wrote that I knew it was the wrong thing to say. But it's totally what it tasted like.

The eel, however, made me want to throw up.
