Project 365 Day 115

I’m posting out of order because I almost forgot Monday’s photos.  This what parts of my lawn look like right now.  I love these flowers.

I don’t have much to say about the flowers or spring though.  I am working on a different project right now.   I changed my email address on Sunday and I’m still not done updating it with all the various blogs and companies I follow or use.  I know many of them are on Facebook now, and I do use Facebook more and more, but I’m still attached to getting updates and notices in my inbox.

My inbox is now Thunderbird and I’m loving it.  I finally figured out why I wasn’t able to use it with yahoomail.  Yahoo charges a fee to forward email that way!  That’s one reason I changed my address.  I remembered I can use my internet service provider for email!  The other reason I switched is that for a long time I’ve been uneasy relying on the yahoo servers for mail I want to save.  Thunderbird makes it much easier to save mail.

I am learning to be more ruthless about what I save though.  In my yahoomail I have dozens of folders with all kinds of stuff dating back to 2007.  You know, “I might find it useful someday!”  However, I rarely go looking for things in those folders, and much of the information is saved elsewhere on the Internet, easily rediscovered.   I had hesitated leaving my yahoomail account in the past because it would be such a task to transfer all the information somewhere else.  Now I realize the most important things to save are the irreplaceable emails from family and friends.  I save the emails I write too.  It’s part of being a family historian.
