*%@$#!!*% PST file
You know, you would think Microsoft would include a simple warning popup in its Outlook email program when your PST file approaches the 2GB file limit. Instead, my email is locked up in a 4GB PST file

I've never used Outlook, and never will. Why? I don't really know. I use a small homepage with their own email system that someone else turned me onto a very long time ago.
On the other hand I'm in the habit of dumping all my emails just as soon as they've served their purpose, so if my system has a limit I've never come close to it.

I depend on email in a lot of ways, Subsim being part of it. I've always liked the power of an email program, but it seems MS would at least put in a small "Engine Hot" marker to warn the user when something critical is about to kill the program.
I got this PST Recovery program and it seems to be what I needed to bring my email back to life. Now to trim the fat a little and archive all those 1990's emails

As long as you're not using Thunderbird. Your deleted email, isn't actually deleted, and just gets hidden in an ever increasing file............ apparently.

You know, I think the same thing happens in Outlook. When the forensic tools finished recovering my PST file, there were folders and emails in there that I am sure I deleted years ago.
