As in, translating normal emails to PMs? I don't get many PMs, but the last thing I would want is to have to clear \/1@gra spam from my Inbox here.
You get V1@gr0 spam? Lucky. All i get is Nigerians telling me i've come into alot of money.Quote:

Hello Jkarinen,
There is an option (in development?). It seems nice, but there are risks, while there are better solutions available.
Welcome to the .org TosaInu. Good first post. :clown:
Watchtower posts don't count though. He made that post elsewhere :grin:
Why does Tosa always have 1 post? I know he has more.
Why not?Quote:

Back to the original idea - I feel fairly indifferently about it/a similar system, as long as it is an opt-in feature and doesn't have a detriment to other aspects of the site (e.g resulting in slower server speeds). I most certainly would avoid using it, but if a large number of other .Org members did then it may be worthwhile.

Well i just get tired of having to check like 20 different sites. I have private emails that only certain people have access to, while i also have my sign up email address for when im testing out a site. Since i recently learned how to have my emails auto forwarded i just thought i could shrink down my email accounts to one or two
Might I suggest using an e-mail application Jkarien. I do believe that the large majority of such programs allow you to use them to download your e-mails from multiple accounts and organize them all in one place. This should prevent you from having to constantly move between different sites.
The only snag is that any standard (free) MSN Hotmail account may not be compatible with such applications - in the days when I had a Hotmail account this was the case. This was one of my reasons from turning away from the service (that and because it placed an intrusive advertisement at the bottom of every one of your e-mails).
I prefer to use Mozilla Thunderbird myself, although there are a wide variety of other programs out there to download should you so wish.

Either do what Omanes says, or just do what I do and bounce everything to gmail and sort it there :grin2:
Or just stop using hundreds of accounts and tell everybody to send their mails to one account.
