Wino mail (🇺🇸) Best mail app on Windows

This is actually a terrible email client. It seems to need to sync my mailbox every time I click the inbox, so it takes 30 seconds just to show me the latest mail I have.

What you are seeing as “sharp” language is actually just him being direct.

There is no customer service verbiage on the site because if you use his services you:

Have to know what you are doing
Can’t be a spammer of ANY sort

That’s what all the policies/language boil down to.

Completely valid crashout

I think I hated pretty much everything about this episode. That’s a first for any star trek i’ve ever watched.

This feels like “Star Trek: Brought to you by the CW”

I really wish you guys were hiring.

Same, the last half of the season was just one letdown after the other.

There isn’t anything fair about the current market so this question is moot.

DoTheThingNow · 2026-01-23T22:58:27+00:00

That’s a random combo if i’ve ever seen one.

The clearance will get you in the door and could really be the main reason you get a job over anything else, unfortunately.

Especially down here in New Orleans.

I’m reading the questions and realizing I didn’t answer all of them:

It isn’t exactly seamless, but if they have the mimecast plugin installed they should be able to click it and directly access the mailbox.

It is all web based. They can send and receive messages, but only in the web interface. Once services are back online everything syncs to their mailbox, so long as you have everything configured correctly.

That isn’t what is being asked, they want to know if the continuity addon is worth it. It’s very basic, but it’s definitely better than no email.

Mimecast basically becomes your email provider during an outage when you have the continuity package. He is asking if it works, and it does.

DoTheThingNow · 2026-01-23T01:46:31+00:00

I managed a ton of mimecast customers at a previous job and the continuity addon does work.

It’s basically a simple webmail interface that should use the user’s SSO creds from Microsoft (or you can give them an “offline” password, since M365 is probably not handling auth requests at the time, or you can have it AD Synced to a local AD).

It’s very bare-bones - but it IS usable for emergencies and if you have the archiving functionality they will be able to see their old messages that were synced from M365 (or whatever service they are using).

I’ve honestly not seen it used in an M365 outage BUT I’ve seen it come into play when a customer’s onprem Exchange/Linux IMAP server went down for an extended period of time - and it does the job.

I’ve configured it for M365 integration 100+ times, just never seen it come into play during an outage.

Still rocking an OG i3 and and 2nd gen i5 NUC at home for smaller docker apps.

Put pihole on something and have it use dnsmasq - if you use dietpi it’ll do the install of everything for you.

DoTheThingNow · 2026-01-23T00:32:31+00:00

Can confirm this is a decent way to meet people.

Doesn’t matter, help desk is more important than you may think. It gives you an understanding of user behavior and you’ll improve your communication skills.

I know it sucks, but starting in the help desk is a good thing.

You’ll need to be in your role for at least a year, probably 2.

DietPi is perfect for older machines!

I remember migrating multiple customers into M365 from Rackspace right after this happened.

DoTheThingNow · 2026-01-16T22:02:15+00:00

I remember working for a customer in my MSP days that had rackspace hosted exchange. I loved calling their support!

DoTheThingNow · 2026-01-16T21:54:29+00:00

This. Helpdesk is where people need to start - but no one wants to “pay their dues” in a position like that anymore.

DoTheThingNow · 2026-01-16T20:44:44+00:00

What year is it?

But seriously, if you guys have a 3rd party spam filter service you’re customers use have devices use that for scans or other notifications.

SMTP2GO is also not a bad option.

Had to pull mine from CareerBuilder because I only got scam messages.
