How to Send / Receive Emails (SMTP & POP) From Localhost; Simple Freeware Java MailServer

September 28th, 2007 I faced a vexing problem with the otherwise excellent Mozilla Thunderbird email client. I was unable to forward emails to another account using the rules in Message Filters.

October 9th, 2006 In PHP on Microsoft Windows you have to simply configure two parameters to enable sending mails through SMTP server. In Unix / Linux it is slightly more complicated.

December 27th, 2004 How can I configure Thunderbird to allow me to use any of the chosen accounts to send my email. This is something which is very helpful for me in MS Outlook.

November 30th, 2005 I find lots of useful freeware from James Huff's (aka MacManx) Freeware reviews. They are primarily targeted for Mac platform but many of them are also available on Windows.

November 19th, 2006 I have been using GMail for some years. There are 5 things which I like most about GMail which makes it apart from competitors.

November 18th, 2007 I used to receive around 5,000-7,000 spams daily on angsuman [at] taragana [dot] com email which is publicly available on the internet. It was consuming too many productive hours daily to fight spam.

September 22nd, 2006 A lot of my emails are not reaching for some strange reason which is delaying my effort to provide you with free upgrades. Please bear with me.

June 24th, 2008 GMail overall has a nice spam filter. You can leverage the GMail spam filtering capability even for your corporate emails without paying a dime.

July 23rd, 2009 At times you receive emails from authentic mailing list and mark it as spam, since its of no interest to you. What if you could escape these undesired messages by automatically unsubscribing to the messages.

September 28th, 2007 I solve this problem in a different way. Normally we write rules to send messages to a particular folder.

November 4th, 2007 I finally grew tired of email spams, having to delete several thousand spams a day while fishing out for valid emails is no fun. Occasionally I deleted valid emails too in the process.

April 6th, 2008 As a security measure to prevent potential viruses, Gmail doesn't allow you to send or receive executable files (such as files ending in .exe) that could contain damaging executable code. GMail doesn't clearly define what kind of file extensions fall within this list.

November 28th, 2007 GMail has apparently gone bonkers with its vaunted spam protection feature or maybe spammers have finally managed to successfully corrupt its (naive bayesian?) filters. GMail is generating tons of false positives (valid emails being marked as spam) with no hope in the horizon so far.

February 3rd, 2007 I recently faced a strange situation where my mail server was showing over 700 emails but Microsoft Outlook was failing to download them with timeout error. The problem was that it wasn't downloading even a single email.

February 4th, 2004 Nowadays I am getting around 150 emails containing the virus MyDoom.A as attachment. My problem is compounded by the fact that everytime the virus is detected by the AVG Resident Shield, it pops up a warning message and prevents the Mercury mail transport from serving the emails received.
