  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

After using AOL for about 4 yrs. we switched to DSL so are trying to get used to OE as our e-mail program now, but notice a few problems. When I switch back & forth from one of our 3 screen names (OE calls them "identities") to another, it occasionally won't do it, and at the bottom it says, "done, with errors". Then I have to log out & back in to read my emails and/or switch "identities again? Is this a problem with O.E. or my Win.XP Home (or my computer, which is only 6 months old)?

Also, I heard Tech-show radio host, Leo Laporte recommend Mozilla's "Thunderbird" for an e-mail program. Has anyone had any experience with it that knows it's pros & cons? Thanks!



.... You use aol... I'm sorry.

I think if I had to choose between thunderbird and outlook distress, oops. I mean express, go with thunderbird. My personal favorite is M2 by Opera. After using it, I dont think I can ever go back to using folders to manage my email. It just makes more sense the way M2 does it. Thats just my opinion of course :)

Thanks!

M2 is part of the opera browser. They offer a paid and a free version. The free version shows ads in the top left of the screen. It may not be the easiest to use when you first start out. Mainly because it handles mail differently than most other browsers. Once you begin to understand how it works, It will all fall into place and you will begin to notice how easy it is. Im a newbie in this forum so it looks like I cant post actual clickable links. You will have to copy and paste. opera.com/m2/
