Email

Our emails are:

These are the defaults, regardless of other directions you may find to get in touch with us (?!)

Fp.laussy.jpg My first email ever was fabrice.laussy@goules.nat.fr.

It later become laussy@nat.fr, and then I passed through something like a dozain of other directions, free, yahoo, univ-bp, sheffield, uam, soton, tum, uam again, etc.

My first email linked to a so-called permanent (?!) position is F.Laussy@wlv.ac.uk. Time will show if that is more permanent than the others.

Gmail

Gmail.png is great (as is most of Google) and this is the provider we use. Fp.laussy.jpg I run it since 27 February (2007).

Labs

If (when) a Labs feature breaks, and you're having trouble loading your inbox, there's an escape hatch. Use https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?labs=0.

Others

Beyond the web interface, which is okay although not that great, it is useful to have a more powerful application. We like Kmail, the KDE default. For years now we have been using the web application directly, which is good enough.
