poltr1I reconfigured Eudora to use IMAP so I could get copies of the outgoing mail messages I sent from my old ISP in the past two years. It worked great....until I decided to delete the messages on the server that were older than 90 days.
I tried to transfer the messages to other folders, but the operation kept failing.
The next time I did a synchronize, I lost the messages that I sent in 2006 and 2007.
Now I don't know if my ISP can recover those messages from a backup. I'll have to call them up and ask them tomorrow (and be prepared to hear a "no"). [Updated 10-Apr 15:50] I called them and no, they don't do backups of mail.
In the meantime, I'm bummed out. I like to keep copies of my correspondence in case I ever need to refer back to them.
But if they're gone for good, I don't have to worry about going through them. :-|
