Tell me how to make the Kolab Notes and ImapNotes3 applications work with the imap server of my free mail.

I tried entering the address from the imap mail server provided by disroot and murena. However, this has no effect.

Then I tried to find information on the forum and in the documentation section of Kolab Notes. However, I only found a mention by one of the forum participants that Kolab Notes can be connected to Google mail. I didn't find any details.

Is it possible to connect these applications with free mail servers or do I need to run my own imap server with special settings?

Why do copyright holders restrict access to their videos on youtube?

I am faced with the fact that the music video of my favourite band is not available in my region.
I found out about this video by accident, thanks to an app for Invidious.

Perhaps the decision to restrict access belongs to the record label? But what's the point if the band's discs and vinyl records are sold in my country?

(Old music videos and a few new ones are available for viewing. Only one video is not available.)

Arte TV's YouTube channel also has some interesting phenomena going on.

They post recordings of concerts, and after a while they remove them from public access. This can happen a few days after the release or a few months later.

What does the Chinese idiom "A monkey that jumped out to pluck a peach" mean?

I read translations of Chinese fanfics that have a lot of obscure idioms.
I can't find the meaning of these idioms on the internet.

Maybe there are some people here who are experts in this?

The idiom from the title is one character's reflection on the people who defeated their enemies.

This character thought, "They think they're strong, but they're like the monkey that jumped out to pluck the peach."

If there is no "Privacy Policy" and "Terms of Use" section on the site, what does it mean?

I found a handy site for taking notes, but everything it says about the privacy of this one:

"Anonymous by default, no adverts. We offer a high level of privacy for both writers and readers. You don't need to create an account to post something. There are no adverts on the entire page and we don't use any social media scripts. You can rest assured that information about your activity on the site will not be used by advertising companies or social media."

This is in the "About" section.

There is no information about what information the site collects about the user.

Are you not annoyed by Lemmy's constant glitches?

On the instance I'm using, my comments and posts have disappeared. It is ok?

I had a few helpful comments here that I saved, but it's all gone.

Having got used to the stability in Mastodon I was surprised by such things in Lemmy as:

Unable to log into your account through the app after an update on the server.

Unable to log into your account through the app if your instance version is out of date.

Just because you've created a post or written a comment doesn't mean other Lemmy users will see it.

I have to constantly check to see if my messages are visible on other instances.

You also need to have many sub-accounts on different instances in case some of the primary instances are unavailable.

Why don't app developers provide an option to disable caching or a self-cleaning cache feature (like in the Fedilab app)?

Most applications clog up the cache space on your device's memory. You have to delete the cache manually which is not convenient. Fedilab is one of the few applications that has a self-cleaning cache function when exiting the application. Why don't many other apps have a feature to disable caching or self-clear the cache?
