I've got a gmail account now! *blows kisses to
fluffyllama*
Send stuff now to rynnewrites at gmail dot com.
Now eMentoring and coding should be much easier--I won't have to keep signing in and out of yahoo all the time! And I can keep stuff longer...1000 megabytes...
I've been changing email address alerts, so now FAP, LJ, ff.net, and Regulus Y!Group stuff go the the gmail account, but it's weird--my three most important groups, the eMentor one, the coder one, and the HPfGU elf one, are for some reason not letting me change my email address. Is it to do with the fact that all of those groups have some sort of restricted membership? Those are ones I need to go to gmail for most, as most of my messages are from them, and they take up quite a bit of space in my yahoo account. ETA: I can change my email address for them now.
Also, I wasn't sure of how to change my email address for yahoo messenger (yes, I am bad with technology), so I got a new Y!ID for messenger--also rynnewrites, so go ahead and add that one on your lists. Though I want it to keep giving me notice when I get a new email--is that a yahoo!mail specific thing? It's the primary reason I even go on Y!M. If it's not specific to yahoo!mail, could someone who knows tell me how to turn on the email alerts?
Anyway, I know that MSN messenger will do the same thing, so I *cough* also changed my passport there to the gmail address (though argh, it's not doing it either!). Sorry for any inconvenience--I still have my yahoo account and I'll check it a few times a day, and everything I still need to reply to with it, I will. I just really needed the big storage capacity of gmail, hence all the changing. But I don't want to have to check my inbox every so often to know when I get a new message--I like being alerted. So should someone know what I should be doing to get that back and could explain it to me, as well as the whole problem with Y!Groups, I will appreciate it very much.
