Gee, I wonder what was in that batch?

Last night I was doing some cleanup of my mail system, and triggered a re-sync from scratch with all my IMAP accounts.

Briefly, I saw a message flash by: "Sending 1208 messages"

"Surely that's an error..."

Today I started getting responses to emails I sent out *MONTHS* ago.

Crap.

I wonder what was in those lost little nuggets of text? Were they all associated with one account in particular? The sleuthing begins...

So to everyone... if you find yourself receiving a random email from me today, possibly replying to a thread we had going months ago, now you know why.

That's what you get for not using MS products...

'Coz you know, Exchange would *never* send out mail months late.

Yup, when Exchange loses your email it loses it *forever*. :)

*lol* That's nothing if not efficient... :D

Honestly, I have no idea what happened. Was the clog on the client end? The server end? No clue. Was the number of reported sent messages accurate? (I hope to god not...)

It's all a biiiiiiiig mystery at this point.

Aw, I didn't get anything. I don't feel special. :(
