3 days after the move to the village it’s now time to get us an internet connection! Surprisingly Aya Nagar has a bunch of fast and effective internet speeds – 2Mbps, 4Mbps, 6Mbps and 8Mbps – BRILLIANT!
I’ve personally taken the 2Mbps and it’s an excellent speed. If you’re there and want a connection, call me.
In the interests of allowing the Mac Pro to be able to function adequately with a “normal” server, we’ve had to update the server – this was a final (and very effective) fix for the troublesome repeat-email download problem.
Basically, the primary email id forwards to a secondary id. Primary id is configured on all portable devices, as well as the Mac Pro’s OUTGOING settings. The INCOMING settings on the Mac Pro are set to the secondary email id – with “save on server” set to off.
Seems all Mac based email clients have trouble while saving email on the server – even if you’re using Gmail you are _forced_ to set it to “do not save on server” and then alter some of the Gmail account settings – it’s quite bothersome! Of course IT is expected to support the device so it’s natural that we need to fix any issues that happen. The source of the issue is not relevant.
Here’s a pic that explains what we did to fix it.
All else aside – this final solution worked brilliantly for our requirements. Very happy with what we’re able to do now – at the slight disadvantage of having to deal with 2 accounts – but with the major benefit of all email software on the Mac Pro functioning normally. Wooot!!!
Our New House!
Big plans soon to come here…

I’m asked this every other day by people I meet – specially because they confuse “VCIO” and the website www.vcio.in and my blog cbd.vcio.in and me.
To be quite frank I’m tired of it. So after a long hibernation (to seek the truth, etc etc) I come with enlightenment.
1. I’m still very much an IT Manager
2. I’m NOT a VCIO. Yet. But I will be, after I stop working full time. But not yet.
3. I’m working full time and legally; well within boundries of my agreements. I wouldnt be a very good VCIO (in the far future) if I didnt adhere to the legal system now would I….
This blog is about me and my exploits. The website www.vcio.in was put up a long, long time ago. No I’ve not updated it. It’s a personal site and selling nothing – so I’m not planning on taking it down…. so I can live with myself just fine…
