Hey there
Let me explain my problem.
I've changed work recently and I am no longer able to set up my personal Email address at work as I used to.
So now when I post something in the forums and someone replies the Email notification goes to my personal Email address which I cant access while at work...
I could change my Email address to use the work one but then I'll have the same problem at home.
Could we get the option to set up multiple Email addresses for notifications to go to?
Thanks

Just set it to a gmail account. You can get to that from anywhere.
An even more interesting idea - create a Weven gadget that displays forwarded messages from your email account.

I have access via a web portal, but then I might aswell refresh the forum page all the time...
And security is *VERY* strict here so I dont even wana try the gadget route... although I have to admit its a pretty cool idea

Why not just set you home account to forward it to your work account.

That runs the risk of forwarding stuff that shouldn't be going on a server ran by a server paranoid. Setting up a proxy gmail account that forwarded to both addresses might work though.

not if you put rules in to only forward cp stuff.

The problem is that CP has a habit of changing its address. In the last 5 years I've received email from all of these addresses:
forums@codeproject.com
noreply@mail4.codeproject.com
noreply@mail5.codeproject.com
noreply@mail3.codeproject.com
noreply@mail2.codeproject.com
noreply@mail1.codeproject.com
noreply@codeproject.com
noreply@mail.codeproject.com
noreply@maillist.codeproject.com
webmaster@codeproject.com
answers@codeproject.com

We deliberately prefix all CodeProject emails with [CodeProject] specifically to aid in setting up rules.

but that would require me to change my existing email rule and would deprive me of being able to every time I see the rule and am reminded that there apparently used to be a separate email address for each server.

When would you like me to schedule the next address change? Or shall I just, you know, surprise you?

During vacation would probably be the most annoying. I'll probably (80%) be taking a long weekend Aug 4-9th. Does that work for you?

There always is "codeproject.com" in the from-URL, and "[CodeProject]" in the subject line. That should be sufficient to filter unambiguously.
And when it isn't, you could use one e-mail account for receiving all CP stuff, then forward from there.

After about a week I got it to work, the problem was that at my new company we have a whole bunch of infrastructure in London that zaps incoming spam way before it reaches my inbox in South Africa and the verification E-mail to forward to my work address was flagged as spam. Thank Gawd our spam system sends me an email once a week giving me the option to release some of these E-mails
Thanks for suggesting this Dan!

aside: Why does a Beatles song run round in my head when I type that subject line?
When we get a long and branching thread like this

x.1 (only more so), it can be very difficult to figure out what 'indent level' message x.1 belongs to. Is there any kind of visual hint that could be thrown to us mere mortals who don't have an imbedded vertical straightedge? I'm open to debate about what form this might take, but first, let's see if there's any/enough interest in the idea.

I believe this has been mentioned / asked before and Chris is / was working on something but the page load could be the problem.
The idea is / was to draw vertical line's.

It gets worse when it flips over a page, I have to put my finger on the screen and hit previous to follow the thread.

Use the 'view thread' button then. Works if the thread isn't longer than 1 page if it is your solution is as good as any

Well it is a digital solution.

IIRC the limitation is legacy browsers that would need to have a swarm of small images used to draw the lines. Newer browsers could use HTML5 goodness, but that doesn't help the poor saps whose employers have locked them into IE6 hell.

prefixing a single digit (the nesting depth modulo 10) to every message icon would be inexpensive and go a long way.

Luc, I'm sorry but I think that's the worst suggestion you've made. It would add just noise.
faint dotted lines, a la treeview, is what is needed. The issue here is HTML bloat.
Once we cna use HTML5 then we could just draw the lines on a canvas.
