I've found WPS Office ( https://www.wps.com/linux ) to be pretty good in terms of both compatibility and UI similarity.

Sorry, no, I'm not using Gandi, I actually have a legacy account in Zoho that I use (from back when POP3 was available on free accounts), but the logic is the same. The emails get accepted into the Zoho mailbox, then forwarded to Gmail

Where Gmail refuses to accept the forwarded email (because the DMARC policy doesn't allow forwarding) I receive the 'Mail Forward Failure' notification but the email has been accepted into the original mailbox, so will be pul

I actually use both. I use a POP3 enabled account on my hosting provider, but because Gmail only polls for new mail from external accounts on its own schedule (you can't specify the frequency, and when you're on the phone and some

Employer. The paperwork pretty much covered a lot of what would be required if it were a company operated office, stuff like there being smoke detectors, fire extinguisher, a basic first aid kit, that the work area was adequately sized and

I work from home 3-4 days a week, and absolutely have a home office setup. As it falls into the "two or more days per week" category, my home office is considered a "remote office" by my employer for workplace health-and

I aim for a minimalistic work environment... So 3x monitors, wireless keyboard and mouse, speakers and my desk phone. My PC is down on the floor underneath, and I've gone 'slightly overboard' on the cable management to keep i

I don't really have a 'team' as such these days (the joys of corporate silos) - I don't work in a vacuum, but the others that I interact with are spread out over the country, so I generally work from home 3-4 days a week
