Well, I reinstalled Windoze again last night in order to a) Turn on Hyperthreading and b) make sure I was trojan free (with Windoze, you can never be 100% sure, especially after 6 months). In the process, I backed up all my important stuff, but somehow, when I backed up my Thunderbird directory, my Inbox was somehow copied as being 0 bytes. And of course I didn’t realize this until AFTER I’d reformatted and reinstalled. So, long story short, if you’ve sent me an important email recently, please resend it because I no longer have it. At least I learned a valuable lesson regarding email… always triple check and the devil is in the details…
Bloody hell.
There’s something to be said for storing email in .maildir format and accessing it through a local IMAP server. It may seem completely insane on the surface, but… oh, wait. It *is* completely insane. So why do I do it? Because it was fun to set up, I guess…
