I got one of those.  At first thought it was a hack, then wondered if you were just reaching out to some of us older members from way back who had at one time exchanged emails with you. But the last sentence in the email sounded odd, asking for an immediate reply. You wouldn't have written that unless you had a problem with TS. But if that were the case you would have said so.


At any rate, I didn't answer due to suspicion and it apparently was correct. Glad you got it all straightened out.

I got an email from you, too, Georges. Looked spoofed so it went into the trash.

Re: AOL - people I know who have used it for eons report increasing issues like this. I'd recommend moving to another email address (maybe leave all the mailing lists and other junk at AOL!) - iCloud is definitely a good option. If you need more storage than the 5GB that comes with the free plan, you can get 50GB for $0.99 USD a month. (I do that just because my text messages kept gobbling up the 5GB, and they've become as useful for tracking events/stuff/etc. as my email, so I don't delete them). Gmail is another option; great email service except that they do mine your data... There are lots of quite cheap options that are very secure - especially in Europe where GDPR and similar requirements require much better privacy controls than anything on this side of the pond. (Free and good is harder to find, of course). The problem with many free email services is that YOU are the product and some, like AOL, tend to be infested with spammers, which lowers the credibility of your own email.
