[Nfbmt] Email Who uses what email software? And about our discussion list

[d m gina]

No you can't text with the computer, now that would be fun.
I would try anything smile.
With wall marts plan you can pay $45 with unlimited texting and emails.
You use one of their phones that is expensive to buy. Once you do this, 
then you are free to go.
I really enjoyed checking email while I was out of town.
I remember when we used to take the note takers on the buss, do email 
while riding down the road.
We would down load them from home.
After we got to the hotel, setting up what needed to be set up so we 
could send them out.
We did the same thing going home.
Down loaded them and did email on the buss.
Now to think there are so many products out there to read while you are 
on the road. The trip goes much faster.
I know when or if you should ever be ready to try email on the road or 
a smart phone, you have many that are more than willing to teach what we know.

>> Hello list members.

>> I am curious.
>> What software do each of you use for your email?

>> Some folks may use Outlook. Some may use Windows Live Mail. Some may
>> actually just use their internet browser and use webmail.  Some folks may
>> use something else.  And do you maintain a list of Contacts within your
>> email program?

>> I am starting a discussion on something else besides the NFB of Montana
>> business here. But it is also useful I think if we share information and
>> learn from each other so we can each know more about all of the various
>> things we use to communicate. I can think of a variety of topics along those
>> lines I'd like to discuss with us, or with others.

>> There maybe also other discussion lists that you might like to share with
>> us.
>> If so, please provide the name of the list, what the list talks about, and
>> the way to subscribe to it.

>> I know lots of you are using the new types of phones now, too. I have not
>> yet gotten anything going on that. But maybe I will soon enough.
>> The whole Apple versus Android thing, and my reading of it, it always keeps
>> me in a limbo land of indecision. That,  plus wondering what I can and would
>> want to spend on a monthly basis on a phone.

>> Oh. I use Windows Live Mail 2011 for my personal email. I have several email
>> addresses. I manage my email according to using an email address for
>> specific types of communications and things I do. The
>> montanarikster at gmail.com is the email address I use for this list. As well
>> as some other lists. Other email addresses I may use for other things like
>> my radio and concert stuff. I have one that I use for politics, too. It
>> keeps me able to kind of pre-sort things. Windows Live Mail puts all of
>> those accounts in a Tree View, so I can go to each of the accounts and then
>> TAB over to the Inbox in that account.

>> I use WLM 2011 while using my JAWS screen reading software and a little bit

>> I wonder if any of you have trouble seeing or hearing who an email is from,
>> also.

>> You know if it is from this NFB of Montana Discussion list, it is being

>> discussions that are held there. And when you hit Reply to that message it
>> goes to all of those who are subscribed to the list.  This list is also
>> called a Listserve. That is just a computer style of email list, as I
>> understand it. I think that this list is administered by the NFB
>> organization David Andrews, and our NFB Montana list moderator or List Mom
>> as they like to call it, is still Dan Burke.

>> Okay. Thanks for listening. And I hope what I typed up above made some sort

>> never know who is going to catch those foul balls that keep coming this way,
>> now do you? But I will keep my glove handy and mustard in stock.

>> Thanks.
