Subject: Hello

Hello my the surprised Friend!

I understand, that you are surprised now, when this letter has arrived
to you. BUT I ASK YOU TO SPEND 5 MINUTES, your time and have read it
up to the end then probably it will change your and my life. At first
I wish to tell a little about myself. My name is Mariya. To me of 37
years. I live in a city under name Kirov, it is a small city in
northern part of Russia. I not married and never was. I also do not
have children. I have left school then has finished institute on a
trade of "economist". If it is interesting to you I will necessarily
tell about it, but now not in it the purpose dear friend.
Recently, I watched TV and saw, that in Russia there are 35000000
women who live without men, and there are such agencies of marriage
which have many electronic addresses, and such agency can help to find
for women the suitable man. I have gone to one of such agencies, and
have addressed to them with inquiry that they have found for me the
good man. They have informed at once me, that in Russia I should
search for the good and decent man very long time. Then they have
offered me acquaintance to the man from other country, on what I have
looked from a positive side. As I know, that at us in the country of
the man, do not appreciate women, is possible because women several
times more.
In general, I have agreed to strike up acquaintance to the man from
other country, and they have given me your electronic address. Having
told that you the lonely fair and decent man who searches for the
woman for creation of relations. Then I took your electronic address
and have gone to the cafe Internet to write you the letter. Here now
you can my letter see. I have written you it with hope, that you will
answer to me. I have inserted one my photo that you could see, my
appearance and to solve for you directly completely, you will like to
begin dialogue and relations with me or not. Only I ask, concern my
letter seriously, look my photo, the letter, think and solve,
precisely you would like to have the correspondence with me? I do not
wish to be the friend, it is not necessary, I am ready to serious
relations. It is very necessary to love, give my love to the MAN and
family creation. If you really wish to have serious relations with me
write to me. If you do not want to have a relationship with me, just
do not respond to my letter, I can understand everything myself. And
nevertheless, I wish to tell to you, that my photo is made not
professionally, but you see me, such what I in a life. And you can
precisely define such woman as I am necessary for you or not. Very big
inquiry as wanted if you however interested in me write to me about
your e-mail where we can speak with you and small good photos you.
Like everything, that I wished to tell you, and now I only need to
wait from you for the answer, and I hope you write to me. If I was not
pleasant to you, or serious relations are not necessary for you then
do not write me anything, I will understand!

I hope your new friend, I hope that I can become for you friend
Mariya!

Mailman Stops Working in Plesk 9

I just noticed that Mailman stopped working about 6 weeks ago. I have a (dv) server at MediaTemple and it runs Plesk 9.x. This has been an issue for a while now, where it randomly stops working. If you have the same issues with Mailman under Plesk, here’s a fix for you. Run the following command:

$ /usr/lib/plesk-9.0/mailman_conf_init  /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py  qmail

This will force a reconfiguration of Mailman for qmail. After that, restart qmail and Mailman

$ service restart qmail
$ service restart mailman

Gmail Undo Send Is Only For Ninjas

Seriously? 5 seconds?

Gmail introduced a new feature last week called Undo Send. Once enabled, it holds your message for 5 seconds once you hit send and gives you the option to undo. While this may be good for the occasional time you hit send before your message was complete, its not good enough for those nastygrams you might accidentally send out.

Email is meant to be fast, but a 15 sec delay is hardly noticeable. It gives you enough time to process what you just send, say “Oh Sh*t” and hit undo. Otherwise, you have to be a ninja to do all that in 5 seconds.

Gmail team: Why not make the delay 15 seconds? Not all of us are as skillful as you.

What’s the Best IMAP client for OS X?

I’ve been back and forth with Mail Clients on my Macbook Pro over the past few years and was wondering what everybody thought the best IMAP email client was?

I used Mail.app for a while, but started having connection issues. Messages failed to be sent even though Mail.app reported they were sent. Thunderbird gets flakey on and off. Entourage seems like overkill because of the calendar and address features I don’t need. I’m currently using Thunderbird but its not programmed native to OS X so it runs slower than it should. It’s also been hanging occasionally. It does, however, send messages which of course is a vital feature.

I have about 3 IMAP addresses on one mail server (different domains) and 2 Gmail accounts. All are used for various purposes and I’d rather not combine them.

So, what client are you using for IMAP connections on OS X?
