What is out there that's better? Using the Gmail.com web client is not an option. Have you seen Postbox?

I recently started using em Client and really like it. Its free for home users but has a limit of 2 email accounts. It has native support for google calendar, tasks, contacts though. I'm debating on whether or not to get a paid, $50 license. Right now I only have my high priority email accounts set up while I test it.

I'm gonna make the comedy option of "web browser" In the last few months I ditched Thunderbird and just went 100% with the website and I'm quite happy. If you're using chrome you get desktop notifications, so really it's perfect.

Gmail isn't my only email account that I use regularly and I want to keep the inboxes separate so forwarding isn't a solution either. I also prefer a desktop client over web mail any day because keeping things organized is easier.

I really don't care what you use for email, but just so you're working from complete information: you can keep inboxes separate and organize things really easily with Gmail. Not trying to convince you to use it, just making sure you didn't write it off prematurely.

I am having an issue with my alienware laptop. Sometimes, I'll put the laptop to sleep when I put the laptop to sleep, it will enter the state just fine. Then, when I resume I'll get the "Windows did not properly shut down" screen (and of course lose the state due to the clean boot forced...). Other times, the laptop will wake up from sleep just fine. There are no relevant errors in any of the logs other than "Your PC had an unexpected shutdown at time X". I look at the logs around time X and see nothing weird...

Is there a way to generate a domain user profile on XP machines without the user logging in? I know profile creation adds registry keys but I know nothing beyond that. Any tools to do this? I know about USMT but it does more than we need as well as occasionally loving up permissions. Basically, I just want to take a user and add their folder to the Documents And Settings without them logging in and have the profile be registered with the OS. Simply creating their folder just means a duplicate one in the format userid.domain gets created when they do finally login.

Probably not. Easiest way is for the folder to copy down via login script.

Flipperwaldt posted:Are you putting it to sleep by closing the lid exclusively? I'm thinking of a scenario where a driver or a program prevents it from actually going to sleep occasionally and the laptop overheats with the lid closed (and possibly put away in a bag). You could easily test by putting the laptop to sleep through the start menu for a while and checking whether fans and lights actually turn off in a reasonable time. The last time this happened, I made sure that, when I shut the lid beforehand, the machine went to sleep (its an Alienware so its pretty easy to know when its not working with all the fans and lights and whatnot  ).I tried powercfg -energy and there is 3 devices not entering suspend, "Generic USB Hub", USB Input Device and "USB Root Hub". I also get that "PCI Express Active-State Power Management (ASPM) Disabled". Any clues?

You could try to see if you can somehow reliably trigger it by jiggling the battery a bit? That is, if the problem never occurs with hibernation. I'd suggest also looking at drivers, updating them or rolling back if you recently updated. That's just generic advice though. I'm not sure what else you could try.

I'm sure you've worked something out by now, but if WorkingStiff's solution won't work for you (can't run stuff downloaded from the internet for whatever reason or whatever), you can achieve basically the same thing by resting an optical mouse on a watch with a second hand. Every time the second hand passes through the beam it nudges the cursor a bit, keeping you logged in.

Why not just connect your two Gmail accounts so you can have them both open at once in separate tabs? Or just open them in separate browsers if you don't want to do that - if you use Incognito mode you can have two instances of the same browser. It's not all your mail in absolutely one place but it sounds like you keep them separate as it is

I seem to recall that there are BIOS settings on my desktop that will change whether or not my USB devices are awake when the system is powered off. Before I changed it, my mouse would still be glowing red when I switched my computer off. I've no idea, but maybe there's something related to that in your case? When your laptop goes to sleep maybe the system is keeping them awake so it can "wake up on mouse" or something?

I have a wireless usb mouse, and before I changed that bios setting the slightest bump of the mouse would bring my computer out of sleep.

I need a defrag program that is (a) able to defragment specific folders; (b) not as ridiculously slow as Defraggler. Ideas? e: never mind, found it already (thanks NeoWin!). AusLogics Disk Defrag, for those who care. Took 3 minutes 24 seconds while Defraggler would have taken two hours at the rate it was going.

Another alternative worth mentioning is Contig http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897428 It's a command line defragger from Microsoft that will defrag individual files (or directories)

Can anyone a free installer package? I was given something to give to our salespeople but the default installer starts the application in chinese.
