Discarded Software – Südwestpresse
->
How software is important, often one notices only when it has outlived its usefulness. For example, when the Telekom their email software 6.0 in the summer of last year deported into retirement, grumbled many users
.
One the malcontents is our readers Hartmut B. from Bietigheim. The new cloud offering of Telekom instead of the estimated software not convinced him: Advertising nerve, saving the emails on your own computer is a cumbersome, as well as the creation of groups of recipients, he complained. And who knows who in the cloud has everything access to the electronic mail?
The farewell to the mail program, the Group established the fact that the software is out of date and thus no longer runs on newer versions of Windows. In addition, the user numbers had declined increasingly over time.
The company pointed instead to its online offering, the so-called E-mail Center. By any standard browser, the customer can post new messages there and see incoming messages. The latest available version of the in-house mail software offered for an option to older messages from the computer into the e-mail center – and therefore into the telecom cloud -. Transferring
But can convince really the new non-real-time quote. And that starts with the Log: Who wants to see his emails, he should go to the Telecom Web site – and instantly greeted joyfully by lots of advertising
For the Bonn-based group, the ausknipsen the mail profitable. Software thus probably also financially. The more visitors the site has, the more expensive it is possible the online advertising space rent. The bill is paid by the customer who must bear the flashing banners to login. Another annoyance is the space in the E-Mail Center. The is a gigabyte per mailbox while on par with other providers such as the Free Mailer service GMX. Could one but still save messages via mail software on the home computer, would be for the total spare capacity of the installed hard disk.
You can personalize the Telekomsche Email Center in the data cloud will continue with alternative use mail programs. Who wants, so can write his mails on your home computer and send them directly to the travel, without having to log awkward in Mail Center via Thunderbird, Outlook or another client program. The dispatch by mail program recommended by the way also for another reason: In them there is no advertising. This would require the provider mail namely open after shipping, placing its advertising slogan in it and send them back to their journey. Such manipulations are however strictly prohibited.
The situation is different in online mailboxes as the E-mail Center.
and generate additional profit So it is worthwhile to write his mails with an alternative mail program on your home PC – As the mail is written here online, the service provider can add prior to shipment nor its advertising message. and manage. Appropriate assistance how it works, can be found in the Help Center of the Telecom Web site. Those interested can read here, how can all popular mail programs set up for the use of telecom mailbox. A little experience you should bring it but. Otherwise there is a risk that the mail program only spits out error messages and remain the mails are in the Outbox. Who IMAP, SMTP & amp; POP3 So think of Bohemian villages, would be well advised to turn for assistance to an experienced user.
Most of the problems in this context can be avoided, however, by the latest version of each mail client program used. The popular Thunderbird software around knows the most important parameter of all mailbox providers and sets them automatically, so that you only need to add their own password, in principle, and can immediately get started with the E-mail.
Safe in the data cloud means
cloud computing that data is stored in one or more remote data centers and programs are run there and not on the personal computer. Who superimposed data in the cloud, you should first define for themselves: Which of my data should be especially protected? Health data or specific sensitive business data should not be safely stored in the cloud.
Cost With Free services you have to expect that information stored searches and are used for profiles, for example for the customized delivery of advertising messages. Also contacts can be evaluated. Here applies: The fine print in the terms and conditions of the user read – and prefer to spend some money in doubt for secure data. ima
