Mail client difficulty
by Graham Lauder 13 Jun '08

13 Jun '08

This one is driving me a bit batty at the moment. I've been using KMail up till now but the addressbook has a flaky UI which is frustrating and nonintuitive to say the least and there are one or two other issues that have caused me problems with lost mails and such. Good reports filtered down to me about Thunderbird and Evolution so I installed them and set everything up and neither of them can hookup up to my popmail accounts. All the settings are exactly the same as the Kmail settings and Kmail hooks in and downloads everything no problems Obviously running on OpenSuSE 10.3. What have I missed? -- Graham Lauder, ******************************************** The Best things come in 3 http://why.openoffice.org ******************************************** OpenOffice.org MarCon (Marketing Contact) NZ http://marketing.openoffice.org/contacts.html INGOTs Assessor Trainer (International Grades in Office Technologies) www.theingots.org

RimuHosting Hiring Linux Gurus
by Peter Bryant 05 Jun '08

05 Jun '08

Hi all. It's been about 6 months since I last posted here looking for more staff. But we keep growing, and we keep needing more staff. So here goes again... I'm looking for one or two more full time people to do Linux support and sysadmin work for RimuHosting: setup people's Linux servers, install Linux apps, troubleshoot problems, help manage the few thousand Linux servers we run, and the like. It can be very interesting, challenging work. You get to play with _lots_ of servers, distros and get exposure to just about every app that runs on Linux. I'd also consider uni students on a part time (evenings, weekends?) basis. For those that don't know, RimuHosting is based in Cambridge, down the road from Hamilton, and we provide Linux VPS and dedicated server hosting and support to customers dotted all around the world. More info (and application procedures) is over at: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Jobs/IT-Jobs/Networking-systems/auction-1… If you had any questions just reply off list to me. Cheers, Peter http://rimuhosting.com PS: The link on http://www.wlug.org.nz/WlugMailingList to http://www.wlug.org.nz/archive/mailing-list-aup.txt gives a 403 Forbidden...
