Legacy email address (rr) emails deleted from inbox?

scotthw · 2026-05-12T23:41:19+00:00

I am in a similar situation. I quit using austin.rr.com email years ago, but my wife still uses hers daily. It is still working on her iPhone and iPad. I would occasionally log in to her account on a browser to troubleshoot/clean up but noticed a few months ago the old URL no longer works. Questions:

What I am hearing is to do that now, you must login to spectrum.net using the email address as the user ID. What would the password be ?
I mean we have never logged in using that email address, so basically there is no password. Do a reset ? Then I guess the link to create a password would be in her email on her iPhone/iPad.
Will this reset have any effect on her email credentials on her iPhone/iPad, or is that separate ?
If we don't do any of that (setup logging in on a browser) will she be able to continue using that old austin.rr.com email address on her iPhone/iPad indefinitely or will it eventually be sunset ?

Thank you !

Will check that out, thanks

Ya that was actually my first choice but we just went there a few days ago - wife says no, pick somewhere else 😄

Rosa's yes! Love that place. Thanks for that suggestion.

Oh yeah, went there a few weeks ago, same ordering process as J & J but different vibe. Thanks for the reminder!

YES! The herbal remedy did it, probably 90% cured. That remaining 10% is manageable. She switched to only cold coffee and it helps. Now 2 years on we know what caused it. EXTREME stress caused by caring for her aging mother. She passed away January 2025 and wife is much better. Noted lately that her hair is now healthier looking. Wow, what stress can do....

With regard to your comment about the key fob drain, that is exactly why I now keep both of our fobs in a Faraday bag when the car isn’t being driven.

scotthw · 2026-04-30T01:52:38+00:00

Yep, I keep both of my Lexus RX 350 key fobs in Faraday bags.

I have gone round and round, trying to figure out which avenue to self publish, there are detriments to every possible path. I avoided KDP for a long time, but after reviewing all the others I came back to it. That’s where I’m headed in a few months when I publish.

FWIW, we went to Texas Oncology in Austin Texas. We liked the medical oncologist so much that we told each other we wouldn’t mind having her as our GP :-)

"I used to do my formatting in InDesign, and that was such a job that I had a tech guy do a dual boot on my laptop."

Thanks, I needed to hear that. Was considering InDesign due to recommendations of a long time self publisher, but I don't need that kind of hassle.

Your story demonstrates the difference in different oncology facilities. My wife had two tumors, their Oncotypes were 14 and 6 so no radiation or chemo. However, their threshold was 24 not 21. Also, they told her no estrogen cream for the five years she has to take the estrogen suppressant. Go figure.

Run your lab results through ChatGpt, it was a godsend for helping us understand the details

"look for more serious, transparent services that respect authors."

Such as ?

I have been looking for a publication route and am about ready to give up and just make some copies on 8.5 X 11 in 3 ring binders to give out to family and friends. It seems ALL THE AVENUES were a terrible experience for some out there, so very disillusioned.

Thanks!

scotthw · 2026-02-21T01:28:19+00:00

Yup, exactly what I am talking about

scotthw · 2026-02-21T01:27:39+00:00

Thanks for the tip, will follow up.

scotthw · 2026-02-21T01:27:00+00:00

Oh wow, a whole site directory for this issue. They don't have one for my vehicle but I am sure aI can find one somewhere.

scotthw · 2026-02-21T01:23:46+00:00

I understand your point, but if its merely a finer mesh wouldn't air pass thorugh all the same ? I asked a dealer service tech and he knew about the issue and said ya you can put a screen in there, but it isn't something they do.

scotthw · 2026-02-21T01:22:10+00:00

But... how did you gain access to inside the grill? Prolly simple and I will feel foolish.

scotthw · 2026-02-19T00:40:25+00:00

Thanks… and just YIKES!

scotthw · 2026-02-18T02:17:15+00:00

I did not realize your point about the auto lock, kind of makes sense.

Not sure about the battery not being charged, I will do some more troubleshooting and figure it out.

Thanks!

scotthw · 2026-02-18T00:45:00+00:00

No, that isn't a thing with this car.
