But none of the vids I tried work for me. Maybe my ISP is blocking. :( fmylife ... eeeeeeeeeek. Either people are lying their brains out on that thing or the world is a crazier place than I thought. :O The other ones I know and, well, aside from Hotmail, respect. ;) Many thanks for the tips, Shiho! :D

You should try it. 5. livejournal; to stalk down my favorite group: Arashi! Ooohs. Hmmm, I’ve been trying to avoid the internet lately to get my studies done =P I am not very successful!

I made an account and tried it out. Will definitely play more. Thanks! :D As for the RSS reader... yeah, I need to get around to doing that. Right now my RSS feeds are in a big pile in a bookmark folder in Firefox. *sighs* 6d: Yeah, I know how IMAP works, just never saw that golden desire/opportunity to jump on it. I think when I did join gmail they didn't have IMAP and when they announced it I was all webmaily anyway so it didn't matter at that point. If I decide I hate webmail again I might look into that though. ;) Mark:

The main feature of IMAP is that you can use it simultaneously on several computers. Its more like viewing a folder with textfiles than downloading the content of a folder and then cleanslating the folder. Personally I prefer IMAP since its impossible to handle 1000 mails a week with webmail. well. The main feature of IMAP is that you can use it simultaneously on several computers.

I could block all the ads but that doesn't make them less assholes, ... in theory. And nope, never ever tried IMAP though I guess that's an option, yeah. Doesn't differ much from just going to gmail.com though does it? The web interface handles email better than Thunderbird did back when I used it (i.e. conversations etc. and not just a fuckload of emails titled "Re: [foo]", "Re: Re: [foo]", "Re: Re: Sv: Re: Sv: Re: Re: Fwd: Re: Sv: [foo]" etc etc etc. Maybe they fixed that?

Running firefox without ad-block gives me a fucking stomach ache... hehe. Secondly, have you tried using gmail with IMAP and thunderbird? Works wonderfully. =) First I wonder, dont you use some sort of ad-blocker in your browser? Running firefox without ad-block gives me a fucking stomach ache… hehe.
