Comments (110)My seeds are packed up and will go out in Monday's mail, just in time for the deadline. Things are good here Angela, TY for asking. :) Very busy with sowing, pruning, and garden cleanup. In my climate this is a very good time to do all that. Just sowed several different culinary herbs yesterday. :) Also busy planning out which food seeds I'll need with me, when I leave here and move someplace with a climate that's approximately Zone5. I will have a pretty short season, so I'll need vastly different veg/fruit varieties from what I've been growing here in Zone11. The place I'm moving to is pretty remote and has a very high cost of living, so buying or swapping for the seeds after I move is not such a great option. I'd spend a lot more if I did that. It will certainly be an adventure! On the one hand, I won't be able to grow my own ginger root, or grow things year round outdoors, anymore. On the other hand, I WILL be able to go skiing which I cannot do here, and I'll be able to grow alpine strawberries, which totally refuse to grow here. Gotta look at the blessings. :) Like the rest of you, I'm looking forward to seeing what goodies I get in this swap! :)...See MoreHow to get my address book from AOL to my Gmail?
Comments (13)Well - after 1 1/2 hours of playing around with this, I feel like a complete dummie. I have resolved myself to having nearly 3000 contacts to import to my Gmail contact list. But I can't get anywhere. I have my AOl address book imported into Yahoo. When I try to import into GMAIL (doesn't matter if I use the older or newer version), it asks where to import from - and I can't find the .csv files. I have no idea where they'd be. Whe I select browse, it takes me to my documents - and it's not there. If I try to browse someplace else, I can't find it. It also occurred to me that it may not be in .csv form yet - but when I try to export from one Yahoo account (to say, thunderbird or another yahoo account) - it suggests I can export as csv file - I click on ("Yahoo! CSV: export) - and then it brings up a screen that says: you have chosen to open yahoo_ab.csv file from http://address.yahoo.com. What should firefox do with this file? My choices are "save file" or "open with: browse". If I click "save file" - I don't think anything is happening. And I wouldn't know what to select if I used open with .... Going back to GMAIL import, I have tried entering various names that I've seen in Yahoo mail. Including "yahoo_ab.csv" - but again, nothing happens. I had a similar problem trying to import into thunderbird - I simply don't seem to be able to locate the files to do it. I'd rather go directliy from yahoo to gmail (without going through thunderbird - bc. from what I was reading, thunderbird does not maintain my address groups - and that is important to me. In fact, if I could only import my groups - that is most critical part). I'm sorry I can't be more articulate about where I'm getting hung up. I have truly never felt so in the dark dealing with computer things (even as untechy as I am, I've had a little more grasp than this). Thanks.

Comments (8)Katlan, it's because someone of the people you have received a group email from has put the additional addresses in the "cc" (carbon copy) rather than the "bcc" (blind carbon copy) section. SO everyone on that list has a copy of your email address, and anyone whose PC is compromised will have your address harvested and then spam or worse sent back to you with that person's email address on it. This is one of my pet hates about people sending group email. Use "bcc" please, folks!...See MoreLost all sent emails on AOL
Comments (11)E-mail was originally designed to be downloaded OFF the server and permanently-stored local on the user's computer. That's what a mail client program does via the POP3 (Post Office Protocol 3) protocol. Users wouldn't leave mail "permanently" on the server any more than postal mail would be left at the US Post Office. The e-mail server (and the Post Office) are to be considered as temporary storage, holding the data until the user downloads / brings his mail home. Web-based e-mail is a relatively new thing and removes the user from full control over what happens to the data. IMO it's also a security risk. Leaving mail on the server makes it vulnerable to hackers. Anyone who hacks a server gets access to the data on it. GMail, Yahoo, HotMail, etc. servers are much more likely to get hacked than a user's personal computer....See More
