MyWay e-mail
It’s much better than my old RoadRunner Netscape e-mail, which I still have.
Like Yahoo, it’s an Internet e-mail; that is, you’re accessing your e-mail at the MyWay web-site, and received e-mails go directly to it (assuming it was addressed there).
Like Yahoo it can be fiddled from anywhere in the universe with a ‘pyooter and Internet access. (You can access your RoadRunner e-mail that way too, but that’s over the Internet, and time-consuming.)
Unlike Yahoo (or what it was), MyWay doesn’t throw up pop-ups, or hit you with ads.
MyWay has spam-filters, and I have mine set at one notch below the bluster-boy — who seems to have his set to throw out everything.
I wonder about those spam-filters sometimes.
Dan Gnagy (“Naggy”), ‘pyooter guru at the mighty Mezz, used to make up his own spam-filters; so that we wouldn’t get inundated. I can do that with MyWay too.
His spam-filter would look for certain words in incoming e-mail, like “buy” and “order” and “restaurant.”
BAM! Find such a word and into the spam it goes.
Sometimes I wonder if my MyWay spam-filters are doing the same thing.
I have myself in the Messenger Ne’er-do-Wells, so I also get any e-mails I send to them: e.g. blog-posts.
Sometimes my e-mails go in the “inbox;” sometimes the spam.
Same thing with Gary Colvin; an old friend from Transit who like me drove bus, and is retired.
I got an e-mail from him the other day asking if I wanted to go along to a “restaurant.”
BAM! Into the spam-folder — other e-mails from Colvin have appeared in my “inbox.”
So I put him in my “safe-list;” i.e. Colvin will no longer appear in my spam.
Not that it matters that much. My spam might get two-three e-mails per day, and “inbox” four-six. My e-mail isn’t very challenged — I’m not getting swamped like Linda; who gets so much spam she just dumps it without looking.
