I hope this is not what we can expect from IB... but considering I posted almost 20 hours ago with NO RESPONSE YET!!!! I'm betting this is just the beginning

Sorry, I just came across your post, my apologizes.

I am currently compiling a document to rectify your concerns.
Again, our apologizes, as we admittedly had overlooked a couple of things (in terms of setting up the POP3 download for Thunderbird/Outlook), as well as accessibility for .com/.org e-mail addresses.

Is there a timeline expected with making this compatible with a blackberry, and getting the .com,etc. working?

Adrian,
no offense here... BUT
considering the size of IB, and the vast# of sites you manage, why are you outsourcing email?
also... considering that you've probably done this multiple times with other sites you've purchased, why didn't you have a plan already in place to resolve these issues? I can't believe we're the 1st ones to ever use T-bird

Just found this thread since my rennlist.net account seems to have quit. Does all this mean it is being discontinued?

Brandon, i don't think it has been discontinued, its just an incomplete transition.

Adrian sent me the instructions as well. To set up a blackberry now, i need to download an application from gmail that i can not open on a work computer, so, i'm stuck. Seems i'll need to find a new email to use. oh well.

Hey Buddy...!

Sorry I didn't answer your call last night - I was busy writing a lot of e-mail... Anyway - here's what I'll do for you.. PM your login/password for both your gmail accounts (rennlist.com & net) - unless you only use one (typically the COM).. What I'll do is create an e-mail account for you on my server - and forward your mail to your new account there (which has worked for you for years)...

It makes changing your e-mail a snap - as folks will still be sending to your rennlist account - but you'll be replying with your new account/new domain, so they can replace your old e-mail address with your new one..

And oh yea - what do you want for your account name under reutterwerk.com/net??

John
