I've been dating someone for a couple of months and I'm positive that I don't want to continue the relationship. I planned to break up with him in person, but he just sent me an e-mail asking if I'm no longer interested. Does this make it more appropriate to break up with him via e-mail? [more inside]

I am looking for an email management program (like campaign monitor) that also includes email analytics (like google analytics) and project management tools (like basecamp). I am in a small marketing department at a non-profit that relies heavily on email (100K+/month messages sent). My google-fu has failed me so far, I can't find anything that has all three components. Does anyone know of a one stop shop that does this? Also open to a using several programs as long as we can get them to work with each other.

Fastmail.fm users please help. Somehow I have made my inbox so that it doesn't show the folder list and the email messages side by side. It shows the email and a tiny bit of folder at the left. If I slide the cursor to the left (not using scroll bars) then the folder list appears. Slide to the right, the folder list slinks off to the side. It does not do it on any other computer I use. I'm in firefox. And I feel stoopid and it's really annoying me - please get my screen back static for me! thank you! This is so stupid and I know I should be able to find out the answer, but I CAN'T! I don't have a login to the fastmail forum thing (thought it was my same login as my email, but apparently not) and can't work out a form of words to search for. Yes, I realise I'm stupid.

I want a safe email for a ten year old.; yes, even one that I can see the outgoing messages as well as monitor the incoming ones. I know you can set up a gmail account with filters to do this and control what comes in. I just am not sure what is best in terms of getting to see what goes out. What does the hive mind suggest for how to handle this?

When doing a search on one of the grad school programs I'm interested in attending, I stumbled on an old article in my university's paper that profiled a woman from my current undergrad program who stated that she was considering entering the very same grad program I'm currently looking at. So, being curious, I googled her fairly unique name and sure enough, she attended the program and graduated from it in 2007 or so. So, is it weird/strange/inappropriate to email this person?

Escabechette has years of old e-mail stored on an old school account that's soon going to close. We want to move all this e-mail to her gmail account.
