    Default Email at the guild

    Is it possible to set up sometype of email like thing on totalwar.org so as when people on hotmail and other sites can email you here?

    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.

    Hello Jkarinen,

    There is an option (in development?). It seems nice, but there are risks, while there are better solutions available.

    Watchtower posts don't count though. He made that post elsewhere

    Why always. He reset it about a week ago. Seems to be a biannual thing.

    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.

    Or just stop using hundreds of accounts and tell everybody to send their mails to one account.
