With all the very savvy people in this group I'm hoping someone works in IT and understands email. My email address is jblair1948 at cox.net.? When I got my Cox account some 15 yrs ago, they were providing the email and support, ie. my email went to their servers.? I was using Eudora at the time and POP mail.? Then about 2 to 3 yrs ago, Cox stopped hosting email for their customers and passed it on to Yahoo.? However, I still use my old cox.net email address but to get my mail I have to log into Yahoo instead of logging into Cox. So is this now like the cell phones where you can carry your email address with you or is my email going to cox and then forwarded to Yahoo? The reason I'm asking is, that if I change my ISP from Cox to say Verizon can I get my email send to Verizon or even Gmail or will I be required to get a new email address at either Gmail or who ever is my new ISP's email?

Tim's original in my inbox and Pat and Jim went to the junk folder. Thunderbird's junk identification is supposed to learn from the corrections I make, and for a while the behavior improved. But it's inconsistent. I have a bunch of filters set up to try to control the behavior that live on my desktop, which is always on and processing email. I use the imap version so that the server holds all the stuff; that way I can see the results on my phone and laptops. Even so, the results are still inconsistent but at least I'm seeing the same thing on each device..

You might need to add some numbers bob1234 at gmail.com or add your last name and middle initial robert_e_smith at gmail.com, etc.). What you can do, however, is just retain your old email account (e.g., bob at cox.net) and configure it with auto-forward with delete to your new email address. This way, all email sent to your old address will still be delivered to your new address, and you can send email from your new address. Over time, it just gradually migrates your email to the new account while preserving your old account (i.e., people will see the new "sending address" when they receive your email and will reply to it). You will, however, need to register the new address with lists and forums you participate in. On Sat, Nov 1, 2025 at 8:36?AM John Innis wrote: > Unfortunately email does not work like phone numbers.

When Cox got out of the e-mail business, they transferred the accounts to Yahoo.? This means your internet and e-mail are via different unrelated companies.? Per their FAQ at the time, you can keep your Cox.net e-mail even if you no longer have Cox internet. My Cox address is a secondary address and I only check it with Thunderbird on a PC.? It was challenging to get Thunderbird to work properly because some obscure setting needed to be set, but now it works great. My wife uses Cox as her only e-mail and uses the Yahoo webmail site on a PC and the Yahoo app on her phone. You can likely set Cox to autoforward, but I'd just have separate inbox in something like Thunderbird or Outlook to have both e-mails.

The spammers continually evolve their messages real-time to look like legitimate email, and then the legitimate emails start to look more like spam and get caught-up in the filters at the domain level as well as at the individual inbox level. I was the CIO at the University of Southern California and we received over 30 million emails each day with 90+% of them being phishes, spams, sales, etc. It almost is like extortion as we needed to keep buying more and more spam processing hardware just to filter through all of the junk mail being sent at us quickly enough to find and deliver the legitimate email in a timely manner. So what happens, unfortunately, is that there are false-positives and some non-zero amount of legitimate email will not be delivered as it was filtered at the domain-level, and some delivered email will be flagged as spam and sent to your junk email folders. Email from the same sender may get tagged as spam today and a different email from that same sender was delivered last week because the filters are constantly adapting the the emails they are processing at the time (e.g., because of other spam being sent that day, the content of a sender's message may hit the probability level to get flagged even though you have received email from that same person yesterday). It really has less to do with the sender or the content of their message than it does with what the spammers are doing at the same time when the filters are making the comparisons.

I'd be afraid of breaking the ceramic and them you have ceramic shards everywhere. I'd soak it for a day with PB Blaster and thhen try loosening and tightening with the breaker bar, trying to work a bit of play into the threads so the PB can get in even more. But if you have steel plugs seized to aluminum heads, maybe just better to keep the existing plugs. I'd also go searching on the model-specific forums to see what others have done. It's likely a common issue. Good luck! jim -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Probably something to do with electric motors having full torque at 0 rpm. I have a snap-on 1/2 pneumatic that is rated at 1200 ft-lb break away and 800 ft-lb working torque and a hercules 20v 1/2 drive with a 1000 ft-lb break away rating, The battery can remove anything I jam on max effort with the Snap-on with only 2 or 3 ugga-duggas. The above is not a non-sequitur, just pointing out that if you do use a modern battery impact gun, you might be limiting the rotation, you will not be limiting the effort exerted. I'd remove the rubber hose inner bit on the spark plug socket so that it fully seats on the hex faces of the spark plug if you do try this, to limit breaking the ceramics. --Miq On Mon, Nov 10, 2025 at 3:15?PM John T Blair wrote: > Was over at my son's house this afternoon.

It is that fast, hard whack they give that actually puts less torque against the threads. Penetrating oil may or may not do anything, but if you wanted to soak them down overnight and then hit it with an impact wrench in the morning, I would not be surprised if they all came out without any damage. If they do not need changing at this point (new plugs can last 100K miles) you might just want to leave sleeping dogs lie.

Also, I haven't found air or battery triggers to be very 'featherable.' I have a 3/8" Craftsman impact I got as part of a kit with an airless compressor. Normally, I run pneumatic at 90PSI, but with it I would start at, say, 50PSI and work up. Or, if all you have is a half-inch start at maybe 30PSI. Make sure the socket is on straight so you don't break the ceramic. Bob On 11/10/2025 3:09 PM, John T Blair wrote: > Was over at my son's house this afternoon.?

Douglas, Currently that's what we are doing.? He got it back together as I was leaving.? He said he fired it up, and took for a test drive, no CIL, ran fine.?

Toss the ratchet with the plug wrench and a pair of thick gloves (for the heat) in the center console and next time he parks it after a nice long drive on the highway have him try the plugs right away. That aluminum head will have a much higher coefficient of linear expansion than steel so getting it good and hot should give you a better shot. -Paul On Mon, Nov 10, 2025 at 11:59?PM John T Blair wrote: > On Monday, November 10, 2025 at 07:41:27 PM EST, you wrote: > > >I am a big believer in impact wrenches, air or electric.
