Hoon, can you please explain how a site can possibly see which URL I came from and how it can see my message? As far as I know no browser sends part of the browsing history to any website. Also, no website has any access to content from another site you visited before. Maybe this is the reason why almost no website even does what you do, except websites which analyze clicks and therefore user behavior.

Can you please explain how it's technically possible for a website to do what you said? I see no point in redirecting other than you analyzing users' behavior.

A senior engineer working on a standard feature for 3 months now is a joke.

Daniel replied on August 22, 2009 09:19 to the problem "Not receiving change of e-mail address verification e-mail from eBay" in OtherInbox:

Today I tried changing my old email address (which didn't exist anymore) to another one (not OIB). This worked. Then I changed it to my OIB address, and this worked too. So if someone raises this issue again, you could ask whether his old email address still exists. I don't know if this has any influence, but I guess it's worth investigating.

Hi Hoon, I think contacting eBay for finding out whether the address is correct isn't necessary, because I entered the address a second time yesterday, and I double-checked it. E-mails I send from my other account to the should-be ebay address arrive properly.

Then it must be hanging for over a day now to deliver my verification message too. I doubt it. There never was a problem with any other site sending me mail.

Daniel asked a question in OtherInbox on August 19, 2009 06:49:

Why do you use redirection links in e-mails?

If I click on a link in any e-mail I view via the OIB web interface, OIB always takes me to a cryptic address which then redirects to the original page. Why do you change the e-mails' links? Do you track which pages I visit? Why?

I think every hour is often enough! As long as I know, I can adjust. After all, OIB is for reducing the noise in your regular inbox, isn't it? At least for me, it wouldn't make sense to know about new messages instantly. It could actually be couter-productive.

After your suggestion in the other thread to try another browser, I checked out the feed with Firefox. I think the reason for the long delays I experienced is my news reader. Refreshing NetNewsWire doesn't show new messages, even if they arrived many hours before. I will contact the NetNewsWire developers regarding this issue. Thanks for your support!

Don't worry, it's actually not your fault. But it would be nice if you would find a workaround, because Inquisitor is really popular and useful! – Daniel, on July 28, 2009 19:48

A comment on the problem "Please don't let OtherInbox steal the window / tab focus!" in OtherInbox:

It happens only in Safari. I tried the newest versions of Firefox, Camino, and Opera. Camino and Opera show a warning about upgrading the browser. In the Safari, I have the following plug-ins installed: Evernote, Inquisitor, Google Gears. If you need more information, please tell me. – Daniel, on July 28, 2009 18:14
