Setting up Mercury Mail for XAMPP

Posted onAuthorTruXterLeave a comment

Mercury32_46Been trying to set up mercury email for Xampp for a lot longer than I’d like to admit. Looked  at so many YOUTUBE videos of people just clicking away through the procedures of getting “local host emails to send and receive locally but have yet to find one that allows the emails to receive from external connection. Have managed to make the emails send  from within Pegasus but the recipient sees that my email has come from “truxter@localhost” even though that server has a domain name.

Have not figured out how to get Thunderbird nor outlook to connect though I think I am doing everything correct.

If anyone has any helpful sites they want to link to show me how to get Mercury mail server to connect properly, please comment the link below. and if you are looking for how to set up the email, scroll below, because if this page still looks just as confused as you feel, Means I can’t get mercury to work either.

Mozilla Thunderbird Opens in Multiple Instances

Posted onAuthorTruXter4 Comments


If you have the same issue as myself, then you are seeing Thunderbird open twice every time you click the icon to open your email. Then a pop up saying that the folder is being processed / populated. Then you try to close one of the two Thunderbird windows, and they both close on you.
There are two solutions to stop Thunderbird from opening so many times. (sometimes it’s more than just two instances of Thunderbird).

1.Fix for Thunderbird . This one just makes it so you can use your email client.
Open Thunderbird.
Close the pop up dialogue.
Maximize both instances of Thunderbird.
Put mouse over taskbar and right click one instance of Thunderbird.
select “close”

And that should to it for you to use Thunderbird for now. Problem is, the next time you select “restore down” option on Thunderbird and then close without Maximizing Thunderbird, it will continue to happen.

2.The fix for Thunderbird
Simply just minimize all instances of Thunderbird, to the taskbar. right click each instance of Thunderbird and close them. All except for one. Now maximize that one. Now close that one. Now open Thunderbird again and the problem should be resolved.

How To Fix Thunderbird Reply at Bottom

Posted onAuthorTruXter1 Comment

If you use Thunderbird as your primary email client and when you hit “reply” and your message is now below the quoted message from the original message and you really want to fix  this. I promise you it is right in front of your face.

I always forget how to fix the reply for Thunderbird. I work in an office with 30+ computers that use Thunderbird and I always have to fix this when we hire a new employee or get a new computer. So the whole reply at bottom be default for Thunderbird makes me nuts. Here is the fix for you.
In Thunderbird:

  1. Go to “Account Settings”
  2. Select “Composition & Addressing”for the account in question
  3. Check the checkbox in the Composition group that says “Automatically quote the original message when replying”.
  4. Once the combo box below is enabled select the option “Start my reply above the quote”

This will solve your response or reply issue with Thunderbird. I have no idea why they default the reply below the quote.
Mozilla needs to set the default so the reply is at the top of the quote in your reponse emails.

So Sick of the Scam Emails

Posted onAuthorTruXter

Are people so stupid still these days that they still fall for the scam emails? I mean really, just because it looks like a legit name for the email like facebook_ceo@rip_you_off.com does not mean that 100% of the internet has to be so stupid as to still fall for that. I mean give it a rest for a while will you please? I mean just long enough for the world to let it’s guard down. The scam emails are getting so constant with the exact same scam over and over it’s like hearing a 4 year old tell you a joke, and probably just as well choreographed.
Facebook.Dating.List@heire.net
Like that junk. WTF…. please quit sending your crap to my email. I guarantee you that not even 1% of the world is stupid enough to fall for that, and the number of hits you can get on your site will not be enough for the amount of effort it takes to spam that garbage out.

There is no facebook Dating program that sends you an email. I didn’t fall for this the first time I got it. I am not falling for it now. I have not fallen for this stupid scam the 100000 times I received this stupid scam of an email. How about you try ” got your nose!” with me, you have a better chance.

Myspace Downward Spiral with a foot on their head

Well I sent an email to Myspace because I got an email from them telling me to change my password, and then I got a follow up saying  I needed to redo it. So I blocked it and reported it to myspace, this is their response.

myspace We will assume your issue has been resolved if we do not hear from you within 48 hours.

Thank you for allowing us to be of service to you.

Thanks for contacting Myspace.

In order to assist you further, we will need a salute from you. We only ask for a salute when it involves an important matter of privacy and security.

To make a salute, here’s what you do:

1. write Myspace and your friend ID or vanity URL, for example http://www.myspace.com/0000000 or http://www.myspace.com/VanityProfile) on a piece of paper

2. take a photo holding the paper in front of you (right side up, please). Make sure there’s a clear view of your lovely face

3. click Contact Myspace, choose Log in as the Category and Here is my Salute as the sub-topic. Be sure to attach your salute and make sure the image file is under 4MB.

4. tell us why you’re sending a salute in the Question box and you’re done!

Important stuff to know:

– if you don’t have a camera, consider using a cell phone camera, or using your own or a friend’s Web cam to take a photo

– the salute picture must be in full color (no Sepia, black and white, etc.)

– no one else can be in your salute picture with you (unless this is for a band or artist profile)

– you must be able to see you holding the salute in the photo you submit (in other words, we want to see your hands holding the Salute with a clear view of your face; no Photoshop)

– you MUST have a photo in your Myspace profile that clearly shows your face

– the salute must be hand-written (we cannot accept typed salutes)

– salutes cannot be submitted by posting them to your Myspace profile and sending us a link

Couple days ago I got a notice that someone had attempted to crack my password so my account was locked . so seeing this only looks like a scam to me. Seems a user in mobsters wants my account and will do anything to get it.

And My response was ” and you wonder why you’re going under”
