The Kitchen Table

A question for those that are using IncrediMail.

6 years ago

Since IncrediMail is closing up shop on the 20th, I need to find a mail client that I can use that will get(Import) my mail out of my IncrediMail program. I have tons and tons of emails saved in there that I need to keep. Any suggestions? In case any Incredimail users aren't aware, they are going to stop their service on March the 20th! YIKES!

I don't use IncrediMail but I once needed to copy an entire mail program. I copied it to Mozilla Thunderbird.

If you google How to export emails from incredimail, there are instructions on line.

I recommend Thunderbird also. cnet.com has free programs for converting and saving your Incredimail emails.

Question or those of you who use a gas Infrared oven broiler
Q
Comments (6)
I have a CC but I'm sure they're all very similar. It takes about a minute for it to light and come up to broiling temps. Basically as long as it takes for the glow plug to get hot. I usually fire up mine as I'm preparing the food for the broiler so it's ready when I'm ready. I think one time I fired it up as an afterthought, and I waited a couple of minutes anyways to let it get good and hot. I didn't actively monitor it. I just turned away to do something else and came back to it. But it was ready so it was a non-issue for me. My range vents out the back, so smoke from broiling has not been issue. I'm sure the Wolf and Viking are similar in this regard. One thing an IR broiler does not do well is blackening. For that, you'll still have to use cast iron and deal with the smoke.

question for those of you that use a flat bottom sheet
Q
Comments (9)
I use flat sheets now for a bottom sheet. It is SO much more comfortable because you can pull the sheet VERY tight and tuck it in. The key is to make sure the sheets you buy are big enough. I bought mine from American Hospitality Supply, the only 100% cotton sheets they have. But you have to buy a case of 12. Still, they're HUGE, very comfortable, and only $20/sheet, which is a deal. Hotels use flat sheets for bottom sheets, which is probably why you can find sheets large enough in your bed size to tuck in on all four sides from hotel supply places. I would take a flat sheet you have now, measure it, put it on the bed, and see the minimum more width and length you'd need to be able to tuck it in on all four sides, then go looking for flat sheets @ that size. $250 - free shipping, so order something else you need as well. I bought a case of All Free & Clear laundry detergent, and it is not the same as the weak stuff they sell in the stores. This stuff smells putrid, but works much better. But it doesn't make the clothes smell at all. These are the sheets I ordered. But definitely take measurements. http://www.ahscompany.com/1888-Mills-Green-Threads-Flat-Sheets-Queen-96x120-100-Organic-Combed-Cotton-White-1-Dz-Per-Case-Price-Per-Dz-_p_20198.html

Question for those that Oven Bake their Bacon using a WALL Oven

Can you not still use the exhaust fan in your kitchen when using your oven? It should help to pull cooking odors from the air to outside. I've turned mine on for cooking methods other than stove top. I'll open a window (really, daily) to draw in fresh air, or open a window and use a little counter top fan to push odors out that window. My former house had heat pump with whole house air cleaner, and I never had cooking odors. I didn't dust either, but that's another story ;0) This house while overall much nicer, has radiant heat in the ceilings and little air flow. No duct work present for the now missing air cleaner. I do sometimes notice cooking odors but limited to the area of the kitchen. When I get up in the morning and make my way to the kitchen, one I will almost always be aware of is that night-before pot roast cooked with onions and garlic.

Question on Kelway phd Meter for those that use it
Q
Comments (0)
I bought this mostly for my potted blueberries. When I first bought it, the needle would spike to the right as expected. Now, even after cleaning the tip with the conditioning paper, it does not spike to the right first. It goes straight to the presumed ph level and then slowly stabilizes. The readings are consistently between 4-5, but I do not get that initial spike to the right. Does anyone else have this issue and how important is that initial spike to the right. Do I have a bad meter? I did read on a few blogs and maybe even here that you can use 0000 steel wool to clean in place of the conditioning paper and I did do that some last year. Did I possibly ruin it doing so?

My husband keeps saying Thunderbird, but we couldn't figure out how to make it work with IncrediMail. I think when we looked at it, it said it didn't work with IncrediMail, I'll look at that cnet download! Thanks!

Take a critical look at those tons and tons of emails you think you "need" to keep. If those messages are/were so important, why do you just have one copy and why is that one copy sitting in an unstable email system?

The more you can toss on the scrap heap, the easier the task becomes.

Elmer, my DH was horrified by the fact I never disposed of emails, but (now don't burst a vein) it honestly hadn't occurred to me that I should be getting rid of them. Then we had a house fire and insurance kept challenging us on how much we had paid for decor items, chandeliers, custom kitchen island, etc. I felt somewhat vindicated when I was able to search my emails and find all the receipts/quotes from years ago. However, even with that experience, I now advocate trashing the stash of emails. Arkansasgirl, you may have a good reason for keeping them, but even this worst case scenario worrier has given up the stash. I think it even eats up memory on your devices, non?

I don't use Incredimail or Thunderbird but if I did, I might use something like this as a starting point:https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1281437

The converter is open source freeware: https://github.com/smowton/incredimail-converter-reynardware

Then you'd need to import into Thunderbird but it looks like Thunderbird has an addon for that: https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools-ng/

But I can't test any of that since I only use web based email. Usually Gmail.

No burst veins, daisy, you've successfully emerged from recovery. Whatever any of the alternatives do to devices, just hearing about these situations eats up and destroys memory in my head. I'm sure of it.

If need be you could pare down the saved emails to a precious few. Disable receiving of emails in your Incredimail by changing your server settings within Incredimail. Assuming you have at least 2 email addresses, send a copy of each saved email to yourself from one address to the other. Close Incredimail and proceed with installing Thunderbird. It should then pickup all the emails you just sent. If all is well, proceed to uninstall Incredimail.
