Welcome to The Boston Network Users Group

Our next meeting is Tuesday, March 3, 7pm – 8:30 pm on Zoom– please join us!
1. We will continue our learning about the Simple as Possible (“SAP-1”) computer created by Malvino, to deepen our understanding of exactly how a computer works at the most fundamental level
2. This month, we’ll have our periodic discussion about email, a rich and complicated subject. We’ll explore the many different ways of setting up email, and discuss strengths and weaknesses. We’ll talk about: Outlook, on the web and on the desktop, including “classic” vs “new” Outlook. Other programs we’ll explore: gmail, protonmail, Thunderbird. We’ll discuss Exchange vs. POP vs. IMAP. We’ll talk about backing up important email, and archiving mail over time. We’ll also talk about DKIM and SPF and other security methods. We’ll talk about how to move a mail client from an old to a new machine. For those who use Outlook 2007, we’ll talk about Microsoft’s very strange indexing system, in case you have trouble searching your email. We’ll explore Lookeen and Recoll, mail indexing programs. We’ll also compare the quality and speed of tech support of different providers. We’ll also discuss ways of helping customers when someone is sending out mail in their name.
3. Time-permitting, Adam will update us on using Synology as a strong file sharing and backup system.
