No problem. Good thing the Thunderbird e-mail client can do G-mail so I don’t have to worry about using the web based g-mail. I got it set so that when Thunderbird downloads the G-mails, it is automatically deleted from the g-mail account itself.
Just follow G-mail’s instructions on setting up POP mail on an e-mail client such as Outlook Express, Thunderbird, etc.
I can then just save my PQ fiiles the same way I do so on my road runner account.
I’ll set up one notification of a dense cache area to be sent to an alternate e-mail account, which is my road runner account so I can watch for notifications. If nothing’s coming in and I still see the logs on the recent logs section of the WGA site, then I know it’s not working.
Sorry for the double post, but Elias on Groundspeak reported that Road Runner blocked all e-mail from geocaching.com. He says it’s now been unblocked as of this afternoon, but I’m not about ready to put my account back to my road runner account just yet. I’ll just send one notification from a dense cache area to an alternate e-mail address. For the hell of it, I’ll do a traditional cache notification for West Bend.
Then send it to Road Runner and see if that works.
I’ll keep y’all informed.
I’ve had similar problems with Charters email service, switched to gmail a couple years ago because of it. Never had a problem getting pq’s with gmail.
At least I made it through 6 logs. Now the dang server is too busy.
Blame the West Bend logging for that. Seems to be ok, but a bit slow as of this post.
Seems to be awry again! 😥
They need more hamsters.
I think it was my fault, I was logging a ton of geocoin discoverys. 🙂
We are having a problem getting on this morning… maybe it is a weekend problem?????

It used to be a given that there would be troubles on weekends in the summer. Then they did something — new server? — and things were better for quite a while. Perhaps it’s time for another upgrade at the Lilypad.

Hamsters need feeding again… 🙁
