E-Mail Changes

Because of on-going problems with the hosting service, my dumka dot com e-mail address is moving to a different server. This means that any e-mails sent may, or may not reach me. Actually, that is the current situation and the reason for the change.

Just to make things interesting, my ISP has decided to save money by setting up its own servers, rather than outsourcing to Earthlink, so that e-mail address will be changing. They were rather crestfallen when they contacted me for a customer survey on the wonderful new features they are making available, and found out I didn’t have the slightest interest in any of them.

Hopefully, one will get stabilized before the other gets changed.

Well, good luck with that.

I hope your ISP doesn’t change your e-mail address without telling you first.

That’s exactly what happened to my workplace, which may be a church but is still a business account.

After trying everything I knew to access our e-mail, I finally gave up & called their so-called “customer service”. After holding forever, a human finally informed me “Oh, your address is now…..”.

Amazingly, this is the major phone service company for this part of the state and has been for many years. How they manage to stay in business is a mystery to me.

My ISP is also “The Phone Company” who have changed their name to Embarq and are now going to be as inadequate an e-mail service provider as they are a phone service provider.

They did notify me well in advance they were doing it, but I left my last ISP because they were changing my e-mail account. I have clients, friends, and relatives who hate change, and now I have to send them a message and get re-established on their “good e-mail” lists. The Phone Company said they would take care of it if I gave them access to my e-mail address list, and I told them to take a flying leap.
