daftykinsmy main client used to have a freeserve business email address16:00
daftykinsit was ridiculous as it had several portions as the hostname, like @freeserve.fsbusiness.net or something16:00
mgdmit was anyoldnonsenseyouliked@username.fsbusiness.net16:01
mgdmvarious ISPs used to do the same, but they all went into the same POP3 mailbox16:02

daftykinsthankfully i've got most i can moved onto google apps so i don't have to even backup email clients anymore \o/16:03
mgdmoutsourcing your email is not a reason not to back it up :)16:03
MartijnVdSmgdm: what if I outsource that as well16:04
daftykinsmgdm: in this case i mean when, say, reinstalling an OS. i won't arse about to backup the client beforehand16:05

mgdmdaftykins: aaah, yes16:06
MartijnVdSdiddledan: .pst file corruption!16:06

popeyMartijnVdS: ya16:07
daftykinsmgdm: although yeah, i guess i'm putting a lot of faith in them :>16:08
directhexwhat the hell is a .pst file?16:09
MartijnVdSdirecthex: it's what MS Outlook uses to store its profiles (including emails, etc.)16:10
daftykinsi think he knows but is being facetious again :(16:10
MartijnVdS:(16:10
daftykinsi've had to learn many of Outlook's little quirks over the years16:11
MartijnVdSdaftykins: did you get hazard pay?16:11
daftykinsclients tend to be unwilling to get along with just a web interface of google apps and want Outlook back16:11
daftykinshaha if only16:11
daftykinsthe classic is when a clean install doesn't keep the list of emails that it'll guess when you start typign into the 'To' field16:12
daftykinswhich is naturally stored in a .NK2 file hidden within Application Data back in 2007 and before16:12
daftykinsyet has been removed in more recent editions16:12
MartijnVdSdaftykins: just sign them up for the new on-line office stuff16:13
MartijnVdSdaftykins: if they REALLY want to keep MS stuff16:13
