NSA-proof your e-mail in 2 hours | Sealed Abstract
Interesting. I’m also increasingly fascinated by the breadth of knowledge about technical things. For example, this is a very hand-holding, step-by-step guide and yet it assumes “you kinda-sorta know how to configure a secure server.” This is for a minuscule percentage of people.

Origins of e-mail: My mea culpa - Omblog - The Washington Post

phpBB • View topic - How to stop a user being sent emails?

Great. The problem I’m having with Thunderbird has remained unfixed for FIVE YEARS. Go team! May have to switch.

How do I stop the “Mailbox is at 90% of quota” alerts?
No, really, how do I do this in Thunderbird? Anyone? Or anyone know somewhere else I can ask where I might get an answer? It’s driving me nuts enough to consider switching to Apple Mail.
