Excuses for Bad Behavior (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
WordPress › Bad Behavior « WordPress Plugins. I was looking for options to reduce spam from subscribers. I am continuing to search to reduce spammers who try to create accounts to launch spam from. This is another great tool to keep a quality blog.
Ok forget this plugin. I just uninstalled it. Apparently it also blocks helpful bots like MSN/Google so your site won’t be indexed and search traffic will decrease. How disappointing. Instead use Wordfence. It has some great features and even a paid version.
So it turns out that for iCloud Apple ID’s need to be email addresses. That is interesting. I seem to have two email addresses that work equally well for me. One is the email address I had before the change to iCloud which was my gmail address. The second, was created by me during the installation of Lion and setup of iCloud. It asked if I wanted to create an iCloud email address. Sure why not I said? So I created one that ends in a me.com address. Now when I log in, I have logged in with both email addresses and they both seem to work and show me the same free app downloads from the Apple store.

MyEmail.com – Web Access to POP and IMAP Email Service Review – About Email. I had a friend sign up for this and when we tried to use it today it gave an error. We tried several times over several hours and it always said internal error when she logged in. Very disappointing service. I would avoid this company. They also have an F at BBB.
There are many angry users on this thread. I would be angry too if I were paying for email. That is really poor customer service to do this and not communicate it with your user base. Thanks GuatamalaDoc!
Hi Everyone!
I’m just on the phone with Apple! They were very helpful!
(1) Uncheck SSL for Incoming and Outgoing Servers
(2) Change Incoming Port Server to 110
(3) Set Outgoing Port to Default
I’m really upset with Yahoo – That was VERY dirty! They stopped support Incoming Sockets – Not cool!
I made that mistake 3 weeks ago. After a sales associate asked me to sign me up for the card to get a 10% discount for my friend, I started to receive emails the next day. I received an email each day until the 4th day I had enough. I called up and asked for my email address to be deleted and I did not wish to be contacted.
“No problem buddy” he said. ”It is effective immediately.”
Imagine my surprise the next day when I kept receiving emails about their online service. I called back and explained how I had contacted them before. ”Oh well it can take up to 7 days to stop.” After that it will stop.
Guess what happened the next week? That’s right, everyday they sent me emails. A week and a day later I called back. ”This is the third time that I’ve called about this issue. I don’t wish to be contacted. Please remove my email.”
“Of course sir.” the woman responded. ”You don’t want to use your online account?”
“No. I just want to get the 10% discount. Please just delete my email.” I asked nicely.
“If you do then you won’t be able to set up an account.” she said. At this point I began to wonder if they felt their customers were stupid or if she was just reading from a script.
“I understand that. I was tricked to give my email address. What do I have to do to take it off?” I asked.
“Just a minute I need to put you on hold.” she asked. She came back and said “Ok it’s removed.”
“Great. Thank you very much!” I said. Click.
I will never again give anyone my email address no matter if that is a requirement to receiving a discount. I will just say I’m sorry to hear that and walk out. Why do business force something that a customer doesn’t want? That is not a good long-term customer retention strategy.
