Since my last hard drive crashed and ended up a smoldering pile of unretrievable data, I haven't been able to get my email client to work. I know all the settings, or least know how to verify that they are correct. And they are correct. But still the damn thing won't go and get my emails for some odd reason, and I am forced to sift through various webmail programs to get my email and take care of maintenance duties such as sorting and cleaning out my inbox by hand. Frustrating enough.
To make matters worse, some of the email accounts come with vast storage, others with limited space. And here lies the crux of my complaint. The ones with limited space always send you HUGE emails warning you that your email storage is almost full. It's like they want to fill it up and start deleting your data. It's bad enough that I get ten thousand viagra-cialis-work-from-home/regarding-your-inheritence-dear-kind-sir emails a day to fill up my minuscule storage space. But to get a 10MB (<-- admitted exaggeration) file to let me know my space is full? That's like chopping off my finger to tell me I have a hangnail!
Update: I re-entered all the fields for the email client set-up and it still wouldn't work so I called tech support and waited on hold so long I tried it again and all of a sudden it worked.
