My.ADT mail service termination reminder

Author	Post
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8011 Posts 9/99	Posted - Oct 27 2009 : 1:34PM Just wanted to post a reminder the 66 people that still have email accounts @my.adultdvdtalk.com. We are phasing out this free email account service. Sometime in the first week of November we will disable the ability for users to send mail from their my.adultdvdtalk.com address. The accounts will continue to receive email through the end of the year. To help people transition their content mailboxes to another account I have enabled POP3 access to the my.adultdvdtalk.com service. So instead of logging into your email account through our website you can use GMail, Outlook Express, Thunderbird or any POP3 email client. The POP3 server is my.adultdvdtalk.com. Your username is your full @my.adultdvdtalk.com email address and use the same password that you use to access your account through the website. You can use the POP3 interface to fetch your @my.adultdvdtalk.com email through the end of the year. Edited by - Drew Black on Jan 16 2010 [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8011 Posts 9/99	Posted - Dec 3 2009 : 3:19PM I have enabled a POP3 service on the webmail server that will enable you to retrieve the contents of your @my.adultdvdtalk.com mailbox. This will allow you to move all of your old email into your mail program or to another webmail service like Google's Gmail. Here's the server settings: POP3 server: my.adultdvdtalk.com Port: 1110 <---- note this is a non-standard port, you may need to change this in the "Advanced Settings" area of your email client. username: your_name@my.adultdvdtalk.com password: whatever-your-password-is That should do it. This is the easiest way to move the entire contents of your mailbox to a new provider. If you have specific questions about how to do this with your email program please post them in this thread.

Jordan1 Member Fishing, a fun hobby! 490 Posts 7/08	Posted - Dec 11 2009 : 4:32PM Drew, does this change affect someone receiving a PM since it goes to the persons e-mail? I've sent out a couple of PM's since this change and it appears that they may not have received it. For example, sometime last month I sent one to Hardware, but I don't think he ever received it. Would it prevent me from receiving PM's? I've noticed that I haven't received any lately. I have the standard setup that was/is available when I first joined, no special anything. [Link]
Flash Golden Age Classic 11018 Posts 5/01	Posted - Dec 12 2009 : 1:07AM I think it would only affect the person if they aren't checking their ADT mailbox anymore. Mail is still going into them, you just can't reply to it using the ADT box. [Link]

I have send multiple e-mails/PM's now and in the past and 9 out of 10 times they don't seem to arrive. Same story vice versa. I even tried sending myself e-mails/PM's but that doesn't work either. I'm certainly not the only one having this problem. Is it because of christmas time that the PM content approving by mods/admins and subsequent forwarding of all these PM's have backlogged? Secondly, is a real pm system still in the planning like one can read when one checks his own profile? Edited by - adt44 on 12/12/2009 6:24:52 AM [Link]

I just emailed myself using the email moderator link and it worked just fine. I would suggest creating a gmail or yahoo account and changing the enail link in your profile. [Link]

They are sent to the recipient via email the moment that you send it. Many ISPs block email from adultdvdtalk.com. That's why we're getting rid of our webmail service. We've been blacklisted by a few ISPs because of people abusing the my.adultdvdtalk.com mail service. There is a real PM system in planning but I doubt I'll ever finish it. [Link]

Click to expand Sorry, let me re-formulate: I don't use a my.adultdvdtalk.com e-mail address for my ADT communication, just a simple gmail account. And still do recipients of my pm's don't seem to get my e-mails and vice versa. Sending pm's to myself don't arrive either: I've tried this 9 times now in the last four days. That's why I thought/said that you mods and/or admin(s) may have/had a backlog in regards to reading/approving &subsequently forwarding PM's of ADT members to other ADT members. I mean, that is the reason why everything goes through the approving eye of the of the admin(s)/mods e-mail address, no? I must say, that the problem of me receiving pm's and actually getting my pm's in other members mailbox' started once I turned on the possibility (after I've turned it off for 3 weeks or so) that people can pm me???? What should I do? Thxs. [Link]

Click to expand Add admin@adultdvdtalk.com to your list of approved senders in your gmail account's spam settings. Gmail is filtering the emails that you are sending to yourself from our server. Did you happen to check your spam folder for the test messages? I can assure you that we are not withholding your messages, nor do we approve them. The system does work but we can't control what the server on the receiving end is doing. Keep in mind that we have been blacklisted, i.e. adultdvdtalk.com is considered to be a source of spam by any ISPs or mail services that use Cisco's Ironport service. (That's most of the major ISPs.) We're fucked because of a few assholes that used our my.adultdvdtalk.com mail service to send spam. That's why I thought/said that you mods and/or admin(s) may have/had a backlog in regards to reading/approving &subsequently forwarding PM's of ADT members to other ADT members.

Bob All-Star Member 5516 Posts 3/03	Posted - Dec 14 2009 : 3:52PM I may be dense, but I cannot figure out how to have all my ADT mail forwarded to to my new web-based G-mail account. I don't want it forwarded to my computer via Outlook. Thanks for any help! [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8011 Posts 9/99	Posted - Dec 16 2009 : 10:38AM I'll figure it out and post instructions. I did get it to work with Gmail but don't recall exactly how I did it. [Link]

Drew Black broken crankshaft 8011 Posts 9/99	Posted - Dec 16 2009 : 2:34PM Thanks. That's the way I did it. Edited to add: you need to select the correct POP3 port number. The default is 110. We are using 1110. I think that's in an advanced settings area. Edited by - Drew Black on 12/16/2009 2:36:39 PM [Link]
Bob All-Star Member 5516 Posts 3/03	Posted - Dec 17 2009 : 2:40AM Drew and Harri, That did the trick. I appreciate your help! Thanks! [Link]

Bob All-Star Member 5516 Posts 3/03	Posted - Dec 18 2009 : 4:25PM The new POP feature and the new "check messages" feature work very well together in combination. They allow me to edit the flow of messages that I want Gmail to fetch from my ADT mailbox. By downloading and deleting the spam at source whenever it suits me, the spam never reaches my new webmail account but the good stuff does. Thanks again, Drew! Much appreciated! [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8011 Posts 9/99	Posted - Dec 18 2009 : 6:47PM I'll be shutting off the my.adultdvdtalk.com email addresses shortly after the end of the year. So enjoy it while it lasts. [Link]
Bob All-Star Member 5516 Posts 3/03	Posted - Dec 19 2009 : 6:52PM ^^^ Nothing lasts forever. Hopefully, that just makes us appreciate things more. [Link]

Drew Black broken crankshaft 8011 Posts 9/99	Posted - Dec 22 2009 : 9:40PM 1110 is the port to fetch the old contents of your webmail inbox. 110 will fetch your new mail only. I had to restart the service that runs on 1110. It should work for you now. [Link]

Drew Black broken crankshaft 8011 Posts 9/99	Posted - Dec 31 2009 : 4:45PM I just turned off the program that fetches new email and drops it into the webmail interface. No new messages will appear in the web area of your my.adultdvdtalk.com email account. The two different POP3 interfaces will remain open for two more weeks. After that I'll start deleting all of the accounts. If you provided me a new email address I will set up an auto-forwarder service to route any messages to your new email account. [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8011 Posts 9/99	Posted - Jan 10 2010 : 4:27PM The webmail interface has been disabled. The my.adultdvdtalk.com mail boxes are still accessible via POP3. I'll keep them active through the end of this month. [Link]

petemurphy Member 226 Posts 8/01	Posted - Jan 14 2010 : 1:16AM I would really like to retrieve the contents of my ADT mailbox. I setup a gmail account and I'm trying to use the "Mail Fetcher" as described in the posts above. I keep getting the following message: There was a problem connecting to mail.my.adultdvdtalk.com Show error details Server returned error: "We were unable to locate the other domain. Please contact your other provider." [Link]
petemurphy Member 226 Posts 8/01	Posted - Jan 14 2010 : 1:42AM I have now progressed to a new error message: There was a problem connecting to my.adultdvdtalk.com Show error details Server returned error: "Connection refused" [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8011 Posts 9/99	Posted - Jan 14 2010 : 8:28AM That portion of the website has been disabled. I've been warning people about this change for months. [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8011 Posts 9/99	Posted - Jan 14 2010 : 9:44AM I turned it back on temporarily. You should be able to POP3 to your old mailbox contents on port 1110. Newly arriving messages will be on port 110. The service that runs on port 1110 is actually part of the webmail software that I intend to remove. I don't intend to keep it [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8011 Posts 9/99	Posted - Jan 15 2010 : 4:16PM Pete - I'll give it another 24 hours. I've written to you at your new email address with no response. Please POP your mailbox contents off our server soon or lose them. [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8011 Posts 9/99	Posted - Jan 16 2010 : 9:46PM Time's up. [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8011 Posts 9/99	Posted - Jan 17 2010 : 9:36AM The web mail system has been completely removed from the server. I deleted everything last night. It's all gone. New mail is still arriving and you can POP3 to port 110 for new messages only. Old mail in the web mail system is permanently gone at this point. [Link]
Jordan1 Member Fishing, a fun hobby! 490 Posts 7/08	Posted - Jan 17 2010 : 6:16PM Drew, this service you've been referring to, is this the one where you can click on a icon two from the left of reply with Quote at the top of each post, or some other feature that I never had? I don't remember what the send e-mail to a poster is called since for almost a year now neither it nor the icon to edit a post tells what it's for by placing the cursor over it. [Link]
Flash Golden Age Classic 11018 Posts 5/01	Posted - Jan 17 2010 : 8:29PM It was an e-mail system that ADT had where users could have @my.adultdvdtalk.com e-mail addresses. It is not the e-mail a member feature. [Link]
Jordan1 Member Fishing, a fun hobby! 490 Posts 7/08	Posted - Jan 18 2010 : 4:48PM ^ Thanks for the info. [Link]
