VANITY - Google Ignores D-Day - How can I save my emails?
Self | 6/6/2019 | HeadOn

Posted on 06/06/2019 6:05:20 AM PDT by HeadOn

The largest invasion in history, and Google just has its logo on the home page.

Oh, let's make sure to commemorate the 50th anniversary of some gay milestone a few days ago, but 156,000 men charging relentlessly onto those beaches, under withering gunfire, to literally save the world? Meh.

I have thousands of emails on gmail, and I dread the thought of having to switch, but I'm to that point, I think. How do I get started?

I just took a look at Google’s competitor, Bing. They picked an odd D-Day picture to put up (a Mulberry harbor). But at least they remembered.

Do you really need thousands of emails?

Whoever you switch to will be the same sort of SJW a-holes.

The new leftist fake news narrative seems to be that Russia was the reason for VE day, not evil America. “We didnt’ win that”

They ignore D-Day but “celebrate” 50 years of Gay Pride.

FU GOOGLE!

Oh, just be patient. Google will come through. They will find some unknown and untalented woman of color who wrote poems about why violence causes bad things like war and tragic death.

Mozilla Firefox allows all gmails to be saved. You can also forward them via Firefox to a new email client of your choosing. Be sure to alert your email list that you are changing. Have all gmails forward to your new email address. You might consider putting in your new signature a temporary line that reminds your email list that you have changed your address

The disadvantage to having your own email from your own website is Google and others will not recognize it and not deliver it, but not tell you it is not delivered.

With a URL of Believer.com, many companies won't deliver our emails.

Not surprised at all. I saw the 50th anniversary earlier this week and I’ve been waiting to see what they did today. Ungrateful jerks.

Disagree. reagan.com

I have been using earthlink.net for email for, literally, years and years. Absolutely no political info from them.

I’ve found Bing at least tries to celebrate holidays like Memorial Day, D-Day, and Veterans Day. They seem to be downright ignored at Google.

I tend to use DuckDuckGo for most searching but Bing is pretty good too, especially for video searching and of course Microsoft technical info.

Their Bing rewards program is also rather nice. I search enough that I regularly convert points to gift cards for Dominos and other places. At least they give you something for you giving them your search data.

Nope. But I’ll have to weed through them to find out which ones I DO need to keep. I never clean out my inbox...

https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/

Install thunderbird and download all your emails to your computer. It’s not going to do so automatically. By default, it only downloads the headers and then you you open an email it will download it to a temporary file. You’ll have to go into account settings and set it to download everything.

OR

Thunderbird sets up a Local Folder on install. You could highlight all emails in the gmail account and drag them over to the Local folder.

1st option would be best though.

Then, get prontomail.
