I’m experimenting with merging my work and home e-mail repositories. I put Thunderbird on my Thinkpad and ditched checking mail on my work desktop or my mac at home. I have all my e-mail sent to my work account, which I then divide into “Next actions–home” and “Next actions–work”. That way, if something urgent but personal comes while I’m at work, I can deal with it. When I work at home, I can send e-mail the same way I would as if I were at work.
I’m doing this partly because of my work-supplied Cingular 8125. I can check my e-mail on this thing. However, to do the message-filtering I want to do, I have to use Exchange, and I have to set up Exchange server-side filters. Then I can see my work and personal e-mail on the 8125 when I’m really bored or if I want to see whether I’ve heard back from somebody.
I’m also on AIM again, much more than before: “GanchoPrime”. I don’t have any of my old contacts, so hit me up if you haven’t in the last week or two.
