Got an email from Time warner about a month ago, they are going to be killing the @adelphia.net email addresses. They said they would kill them in about a month… Just a reminder to migrate to gmail or a similar non isp owned email account. ---

They will just be forwarding to [roadrunner.com](http://roadrunner.com), [adelphia.net](http://adelphia.net) addresses will work for quite some time beyond. That said there is no reason why someone should be using that unless they need pop mail that badly. ---

I did all that already, but when I go into Thunderbird, the Gmail account doesn’t even appear on my account list (bar to the left); yet it is still in my account settings. Basically I cannit “see” the account. It asks me for my login password like the others do, but I can’t see or manipulate it. 😕 ---

I wish gmail supported IMAP. Then it would be the best ever.
