DearWebby is actually Helmut Morscher, the CEO of Webby, inc.
Originally the "Tech Support Pits" were reports of the funniest tech support incidents, but over the years the
column gradually shifted to answering tech support questions put forward by the readers of the Dear
Webby Humor Letter.
This collection of computer and web advice was started partly because readers demanded an archive, and partly
because some questions were asked again and again. Each page has a different day's Tech Support Pits column.
Have FUN!

Tech Support Pits column from Dear Webby's Humor Letter of
04/05/04: Slow mail
Tech Support Pits:
From Beth===
Dear Webby,
My mail program is getting slower by the day, it seems.
How do I fix that?
Beth
Dear Beth
First clean out your IN mailbox. It should only have
today's unread mail in it. (If you tell me I should do what
I preach, you can get your own coffee!)
While that may not be practical or possible, consider it
a goal to strive towards. Move mail immediately, after
glancing at it, to mailboxes that you name as:
Urgent
Soon
Rainy-day
Tips
Ideas
Friends
Family
Second, shorten your spam blacklist, or dump it.
Spammers nowadays just forge their sending addresses
anyway and never use the same one twice, so why bother
with a huge blacklist? Just set the blacklist ot "age off" in
five days.
Have FUN
Dear Webby
