Coolness that comes from blogging

Got this email earlier today: (name witheld)

Hi Mike,

two days ago I got this strange e-mail that corrupted my outlook pst-file. Normally the monthly backup take care of problems like this but it was three weeks ago and I had some really important stuff that had come in these last few days. Checked the web and found some s/w that seemed to do the trick but at USD 250 they were a bit to high priced for a one time problem. Worked with different workarounds for the problem for hours and hours, there had to be a way….

Finally found your blog and the note on renaming and importing all outlook folders but the inbox and presto! Done in ten minutes and everything in order.

Thank you Mike, you are the man. Should you by any chance ever happen to pass by the godforsaken country called Sweden, I’ll take you for a night on the town and you are welcome to bunk in our guest-room.

Yeah, pretty much made my day, without a doubt!

    I was able to finagle my way to a “Well we need to make sure it works so we can send it back” look at my Dell Axim X5, It setup real easy and works really well. I was quite happy with the performance and the simplicity of syncing it with Outlook. Looks like I…

    Looks like it is, in fact, AOL blocking Trillian. Gee and this is the company that’s suing MS for predatory business practices? I never have liked AOL as a company, they don’t help themselves any here. Geek Blog has a nice little wrap up of things he doesn’t like about BlogTrack. Personally I haven’t had…
