OUCH!

That sucks!

Yeah, my brother was urging me to move all my mail to MAIL, but then he called back a week later and said, "DON'T DO IT!", but never explained exactly why. I wonder if a similar thing happened to him.

This is the first time I've had any problems with it--but this problem is a pretty big one. I'll probably migrate everything to Microsoft Entourage now.

Damn.

Go search in the Bermuda Triangle, you might find them there.

Eww, that stings. :/

I've had Hotmail eradicate all the archives in an old address, and I've lost two hard drives. It's like a physical beating followed by a feeling like what Clark Kent feels when he gets around kryptonite. I'm a backup monster now.

No way on earth to recover the data?

Don't think so, but I'm not sure. I'm trying to figure out whether it's worth it or not--hell, the only reason I keep the Earthlink account is because there are people that have been using that email address for something like 8 years. All I need to do is tell some people to use another address and I can close the damned account, anyway.

You must be lying. Apple software NEVER does anything wrong.

Or maybe you shouldn't have had all those e-mails coming in in the first place. They were probably from moral reprobates like ... well, like me.

I use Entourage and have found it to be reliable, functional and efficient. And the sounds are inoffensive, which is always a plus.
