...when your/my E-Mail Server decides to close the service down!

After 20+ years of using my old "Freeserve" address via "Orange", "EE" has decided to close it down after taking it over from "Wannado" a few years ago.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeserve

Having selected "G-Mail" for my alternative E-Mail Server, I am now left with advising all my zillions of contacts of my new E-Mail address....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gmail

...which is bl**dy annoying for me, and confusing for them!

My old Orange E-Mail Server was a delight to use, with a simple layout, and everything labelled, and lots of options for various displays, attachments, etc.

This G-Mail malarkey at the moment is giving me a headache trying to figure it all about, and I'm not a Happy Bunny!

When things are working correctly, I like them to be left alone!.... ...!

Typical example.... I'm now having to advise Sim V, Friends and Family, etc, of my new E-Mail address.....

...as well as everyone else all around Planet Earth!

Paul....Grumble, grumble.... ....!

But Paul YOU Are still ON THE GREEN SIDE OF THE GRASS. You will survive......sorry I can remember the rest of the words to the song.

Struggle on my man,

Regards,
Jim

I agree with you Paul! I really don't like Microsoft's Hotmail conversion to Live.com either. With the latest update things have changed some more.
Come to think of it I don't really think Windows 10 is all that marvelous either.

Here we are then...

G Mail is very easy to use, you can easily avoid the quirks and it'll work fine for ya, it does for me, much better than Yahoo email, and there's no annoying ads or other stuff. I got used to G Mail very quickly a few years ago.
