I looked into setting up a local mail server, it is just way over my |
| 26 |
head. When I have time to deal with it, I'll look into it again. I'm |
| 27 |
sure I can do it but at the moment, got to much else going on. It's the |
| 28 |
season for catching catfish anyway. ;-) |

I have Seamonkey set up as pop thingy. It downloads the new messages |
| 31 |
and I looked to see, it is set not to delete from server for 90 days. |
| 32 |
If I had a major loss, it would be far less than 90 days until I got |
| 33 |
back running. |

May start moving things around tomorrow. It can do some of the work |
| 36 |
while I'm catching catfish bait. They love bream. They fun to catch. |
| 37 |
They give a good fight for a small fish. |
