well my venture into non O365 email lasted a week, moved back into my O365 mailbox last night, hadn't closed/cancelled the service.
Like going home to a warm fire and slippers. Not the cheapest experience, but warm and comfy and everything is right where I need it.What did you try? There aren't many serious players. O365, Zoho, and Gmail if you want something really outside the box.
Just tried Zoho using IMAP. It was terribly slow.
Why were you using IMAP? why not the web interface for email?
I haven't used a fat client in years for my personal email - why be tied to a device for access?
One app for multiple accounts. I keep my personal & work email seperate. I tried to pull in my work email into my personal account, but contacts got all mixed together, it just didn't work for me.

Hit the pool for a quick workout, then went to see the eye doctor. Got some new glasses coming soon.

I like Costco’s vision department. Always had good experiences to date.
The doctor and glasses are separate divisions. So that is nice. The doctor just gives you your prescription and doesn’t care if you buy glasses there, which I don’t.
I buy from eyebuydirect.com

I buy from eyebuydirect.com
We normally do too, but last time my prescription was screwed up so my glasses are bad and getting them from a secondary place means we have little recourse

If the script was bad then you take it to the doctor that wrote the bad prescription.
Eyebuydirect has also sent me new glasses when my last pair broke with an obvious manufacturing defect. All I had to do was file the claim and send in high resolution pictures.

Here is the new pair I got a week ago. The frames were $29. The rest was the lenses.

Anyone read the latest stuff from Micrsoft on passwords? I didn't think it was anything new to new honest, but they're suggesting that we no longer need to use complex passwords.
They used a mega grunty built for purpose password cracking hyper computer and found that it took 80 days to crack a 10 character password. A 12 character password was estimated to take a year or more.
I didn't think this was new news. I can remember learning about this timeframe years back.

We've seen listed time for cracking based on the tech of the day... and we can guess what our improvements will be in the future to guess how cracking will improve, but you do a proof every few years to see if your guesses where right.
