Hi,

I have joined the Centos forum a few days ago and still do not have my activation email.

My user name and email address is in there but I cannot do anything until I activate. I have left a message with the webmaster and I have requested a lost password, but get nothing.

I have checked all my email filters, spam boxes etc., and yet nothing. I am getting up to 100 emails a day at that address.

Any ideas how I can get this up?

Many thanks.

Hi,

Not sure if I'll be able to help, I'm only a forum Moderator, but can you please email me your username off list and I'll see if there's any way I can activate your account for you.

As I don't have an @centos.org email address, you can verify my identity/email address here:

OK, looks like I found you and have activated your account. Would you please now try to log in.

Thanks.

If you are talking about the mailing list, that is different from the forum login. You need to go to:

http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Try clicking on the "Unsubscribe or edit options" button.

I figured there would be heavy traffic -- that's why I opened a Gmail account specifically for these lists. It works well in two ways -- everything in this mailbox is CentOS related and Gmail keeps "conversations" together -- so if there are 16 emails on one subject, they'll all be threaded under a single tab.

Oh, that is surely a ground-breaking feature that no mail program has implemented for umpteen years. ;-)

A bit of sarcasm, perhaps? :~)

What I meant is that it keeps all messages on one subject in a single entry. If that subject doesn't interest you, just click and delete once. All messages are gone at once.

hmm. every mail client i used in the last years has a threaded view. its not a so uncommon feature. and many mail clients give you the possibility to structure your mailbox. a new mailbox for every mailing list interested in sounds strange to me.

however, another alternative is http://www.gmane.org/ . according to their website it is a "Mail To News And Back Again" Gateway. You can use it with your browser or, even better, you can use your favorite newsgroup reader. thats what i often do. of course, if you use gmane you could turn email notifications off in your list preferences.
