Thunderbird... Ever since OutlookExpress was unsupported (Win8 ?). Just wish the calendar add-in was a bit [lot] more functional.

I use Thunderbird.
Actually Seamonkey browser/email suite but it's the same thing really.

I used to use Eudora, great client, good spam filtering & quick. Then Qualcomm made it freeware & then I couldn't get it to install on Win10 so went to Thunderbird.

At work Outlook 365.
At home Outlook connected to german GMX in one PC (for the archive), GMX web interface in the other PCs.
I got a Protonmail account too for testing and doing some staff, and it got deleted due to inactivity because I forgot about it too often.
A couple of throw-away emails providers for online services I do not trust.
M.D.V.

I have a vague impression I posted about this a while ago, but couldn't find the thread.
My dad replaced his car with a newer one - not because it was getting old, but because the dealer he bought it from offered him a decent enough amount of money for the year-old one he traded it in for. Keeping up to date with the current year-model made sense.
The car maker has an Android app that gives you access to a bunch of stats and functions, like remotely locking/unlocking the doors, turning on the headlights, opening the trunk, honking the horn, starting the engine, showing its current location on a map, etc.
My dad, not being a smartphone guy, just traded in the car, but didn't reconfigure anything in the car or in the phone app when he did so. I pointed out a few weeks ago that neither did the dealer, or the guy who bought the 'old' car, so his phone was still capable of reporting back how much gas was left in the tank, unlocking the doors, and, well, determining exactly where the new owner lives, or works, or where he happens to be at any moment. Which can lead to nasty stuff if you ask me.
Try as I might, I couldn't even find a place in the app where I could register a new vehicle - let alone removing the old one. I'm not exactly a luddite; I've been earning a living as a software developer for nearly 30 years, and if I can't find what should be a basic option...someone's seriously dropped the ball.
Still, in spite of this, you'd think a dealer selling a used car would do his best to delete any of the previous owner's data, unlink the app from the vehicle, etc...whatever's necessary. But apparently, no. I wouldn't be surprised if the new owner could drive by, and open my dad's garage door as he had it programmed in.
Worse scenario: If the new owner parks it in his garage, connected to his house, one could remotely start the engine every half hour and asphyxiate someone overnight.
It annoys me to no end, knowing these possibilities, that dealers could be so careless. This isn't even a hack, it's working as designed.

Last time I checked in a rental car, I got hassled to get out of the car.
I was poking around the menus trying to find out where to make it forget my phone.
When I found it, there were details of several other people's phones in there too.

Rental, or lease?
I have no idea why anyone would take the time to pair his phone with a rental car.
|

So you can use Car Play and take hands-free phone calls. It's the first thing I do, especially when I'm in an unfamiliar city. And of course the last thing I do is remove my phone. The rental place can just wait: I'm not handing over the car till all my stuff - including my info - is out of the car.

Hands-free or not, I'm not picking up the phone when I'm driving. I won't even glance at it at a red light.
|
|
|
|
|
That's the point: by connecting the phone to the car I can answer via the steering wheel button or hitting the big green circle on the centre display. No more distraction than changing the radio station. Actually less distraction because I can never find a decent station so end up trying to work out where the 'off' button is.
cheers

Some drives are too long for no tunes, too bereft of radio signal for AM/FM, and don't have XM.
Without pairing to stream something besides road noise, I'd be asleep in a cactus beside a flipped rental.

C'mon, you know better than to think a used car dealer would have any integrity at all.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Well it wasn't a "used car dealer" in the way most people think about, it's a dealer that happened to buy back my dad's year-old car for a trade-up.
But I know what you mean by "used car dealer" and their reputation. I have an uncle who ran a tiny independent dealership for decades. Honestly they don't all deserve the reputation they're given.

Write your congressman to have them pass a law?

I probably do not want my phone to unlock the doors. I absolutely do not want it telling me about the gas. Car should have a gauge for that.
So no reason for me to install an app. But I might stir myself to figure out how to disable any smarts like that completely on a new car that I owned.
