Yahoo Email Import

A few years ago (2005 time frame), I wrote to the Gmail team asking for the ability to import email from other accounts via POP. That wish is finally coming true now.

I've been able to successfully import from Yahoo, without even enabling POP on Yahoo !! Yay !! Go Google, Go Gmail !

Comment notification not working on Blogger

For whatsoever reason, comment notification hasn't been working for me for some time now. Very rarely do I go to "actually see" my site. I'm happy posting, monitoring via RSS feeds if things are coming out ok (haven't been doing this lately) and responding to comments if and when I receive them via the comment notification mechanism on blogger.

Recently, I observed that my blog has had a few comments up for a few recent posts and I never received any notification for those. Need to check out what has happened. Either that or my email system has been acting up - I know that the spam classification category has been "very severe" of late on my personal email server and there have been a few genuine email rejects by the system.

Anyway, if you haven't heard from me or seen me respond in a timely manner to any of your comments, now you know why - apart from my laziness to type something out ;-)

More spam on yahoo email

Of late, for the past couple of days (about a week or so), the amount of spam that is escaping yahoo's spam filters and landing in my yahoo inbox has increased. Although the daily numbers are typically in the lower single digits, it still makes me wonder what has gone / is going wrong and/or what has changed.
