[Gllug] [OT] yahoo messenger...

[G Caparo]

Yup,
 I know that after digging it up and the had them admit it their website
says all new account ssince sometime in 2005 are noe googlemail, so how come
in Feb 2006 I was able to get from their website thro an invite a
gmail.comaccount NOTE not a googlemail account unless I use the web
site. This going
from the web site and will be booted. from the list I can then copy it
tomorrow from the failure notice when my pop3 downloads the web stock pile.
There web site also states that which ever one you have it will work
flawlessly not TRUE I have one mail addy with them caparo.g at gmail.com but if
I use that acount from the web interface the address is changed to
@googlemail. which means list that have the original gmail account will
bounce the googlemail address as being a non member.
 I in all innocence decided I would register both with a trial list guess
what I get 2 copies of everything.
