I have two amazon accounts with the same email but different names. One headed by the legend "Hello, Jack Surname", the other with the message "Hello, Jack. WRONG ACCOUNT! USE OTHER PASSWORD." Today this helped me.

I can't work out my cantab address. the variants of m.h.allen-williams.2000 I've tried don't seem to work. I've lost/forgotten the password, and I'm not sure where it forwards to.

I looked you up in the directory. It's M.H.Allen-Williams.00@cantab.net. You haven't set up an alias (mair@cantab.net, etc).

As for getting in if you've lost both email and password, I can't help; I assume you know which accounts it *might* go to?

[mair_in_grenderich]

ooh, why didn't I think of asking someone to do that? :)

okay, I sent myself a new password email. if it turns up anywhere, I guess I'll find out where it's going :D

I don't know. LOL. Actually, I thought anyone could use the directory, but it seems like only logged in members can -- did they change it?

How many accounts do you have you can still access?

I have my main account, cantab, my backend account, gmail, my old back-end, a friend's server, and a few disposable free ones (eg. hotmail). My cam accoutn expired. But I think I would only have used any but cam or cantab for a particular reason.

Admittedly, cantab is supposed to be from where everything flows, I really should keep it's password reminder email up to date...

well, everything accessible ends up on flurble.org now, and a few of those get bounced onto gmail. of those there's my allen-williams.com which is a pop account and fetchmailed to flurble.org, and @soton which redirects to @ecs.soton, which is also then fetchmailed. those I can therefore find when flurble.org goes down ...

I was a little afraid cantab might still be trying to forward to a cam.ac.uk address - tho' my cl.cam.ac.uk *does* still work - but it seems that it's going to allen-williams.com, so I have my password reminder.

I only found I didn't know the address any more when I was trying to look up someone in the database a few weeks ago.
