Email transfer from Telus to google mail
I have stumbled on a number of web articles about telus mail moving to gmail. Link: https://www.telus.com/en/bc/support/article/telus-email-transition-general-information I have not received any no...
They are migrating the email accounts over in batches. They will email you prior to your account moving.
I am new here so I hope I do not step on any toes. I believe the best way to solve a lot of these email problems is just get your own little corner of of the Internet. I pay about $50/yr to HostPapa for a place to park my domain name. They also pick up the yearly cost of registering my domain name.
I can give out an unlimited number of email accounts, and the best part is I get to control them. I have given email addresses to all my family and friends who I exchange emails with regularly. One of the good things about this is HostPapa being a Canadian company, any email exchange within my domain stay within Canada. Google does not get a chance to snoop and send me adds. I do not understand how people can forget that Google is an ADD COMPANY. Using Chrome is another good way to get in Google's cross-hairs. I often wonder how many people would be running Chrome if some innocent app hadn't installed it. I have even switched from Google to DuckDuckGo as my search engine.
Thunderbird is a very good email client that has lots of features. Now that they have split off from the Mozilla I am not sure of their future. When I was working i the field I would download my emails and answer them at my convenience. Once back to an Internet connection I could send them all off in one batch.
I don't depend completely on my domain emails. I have a couple of outlook accounts and another I pay by the month. I just do not trust any company to keep doing things to help me. If I had to use Gmail for email I would go back to pen and paper. This is not what I was looking for help with. When I seen the post I started reading it and can not believe how low Telus has sunk. We do need more competition.
I agree Telus is a greasy company. When will they ever learn ?. Transalta had questionable ethics going back decades. Where did it lead them? Is there stock over $5.00 now. Encana used to cost their SAG_D like an internal Ponzi scheme, borrowing from Phase B to Make Phase A look better. They took off to the States, didn't they? When will the business leadership in this Province learn that the best practice is an honest day's work for a buck? Why is Telus using Google/Gmail? Can't they just develop a base that interfaces with all common email systems Outlook, Gmail, I-mail.
Are they getting a kickback from Google?
