This has been about the worst day ever. I had lots of things to do and progress to make today. Fat chance of that.
Instead, my email client (which I’m too embarrassed to name) choked first thing this morning. I quickly backed it up, but realized that was probably a gesture in futility. I had made a backup on 2-22, though, so at least all was not quite lost.
Sure enough, the new backup was worthless. I’ve spent this entire day trying to retrieve the lost information, but I’m about done for now. Ridiculous.
Fortunately, in the last few days I’ve made quite an effort at digging myself out of the mess that my inbox was. I sent out a bunch of long-overdue replies and whatnot, so I think I’m fairly well covered. However, if you sent me an email after Feb. 22 and I haven’t replied, you might want to check back with me! Chances are that a reply could be quite some time in coming.
I’ve got to get a new email client. It would be a ton of work that I don’t want to do, though. Plus, I can’t find another client that I like. Thunderbird is the obvious choice, and I use it for some things, but it just doesn’t feel right. I need to do some research on themes, I guess, and see if I can get it to make me feel happier.

Too bad you don’t live out here in Utopia so you could get away from that frustrating computer and go take a hike in our beautiful spring weather.

Hey, Have you ever tried Incredimail? I’ve been using it for about four years and really like it’s ease of use and all the different options. They have a free version but then display small ads in the top corner, but if you pay for it, it runs just like a program out of the box.
Plus, backups are very easy and quick!! :-)

I vote for thunderbird. I have used it some and really like it. My best suggestion is to go with gmail and set it to POP all your mail into Thunderbird. You can also set your gmail options to retain a copy of all email in your gmail account online. You should never have to lose another email ever again!
