today was the first morning that it felt like winter. it was frozen over and all was white :)

much better like this!

On the downside, I managed to successfully delete a whole year of email beyond any backup.
How? Well.. Thunderbird (I tried to use as much open source as I could) has a neat feature, “download mail locally to enable offline reading” – well, that sounds nice, let’s enable it.
And it does exactly that. Well… actually, after one month, one doesn’t need the offline copy anymore, so there was another function, called “delete old messages after XXX time to save disk space”.
Sounded even more reasonable to me.
Now, the stupid avian honestly synced this also backwards, meaning, after having used the offline copy for 30 days, it deleted the copy, AND THE ORIGINAL!
I am so pissed.. all my mail that is older than 2 months (we managed to get November and December from a backup) and younger than 2005 is lost.

I am back with Mac Mail now, which sucks. But I don’t trust this Thunderbird anymore…
