Hi
Is thelist archive mbox available anymore? I'm getting a 404.
My sysadmin just did the Outlook Express mail store folder, trick, you know
the one that deletes all your mail.
<tip type="Outlook Express" author="Chris Hayes">
Don't use the OE GUI to point your mail store folder at an existing mail
store folder.
It very cleverly (not) decides to wipe the folder clean and put blank files
in there.
Scream at you sysadmin before, during and after he is doing this.
Instead
Find the registry entry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{YOUR IDENTITY
STRING}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0
- Store Root
And make the change there.
And the usual backup disclaimer stuff goes here ;)
