I wasn't there so I can't confirm what the tech did or saw. I don't have Outlook available here to test, either. Does anyone have the exact wording? I guess I can perform a test tomorrow when I have access to a system with the same version of Outlook installed. If it was a typical dialog, it was "Are you sure you want to delete this account?" I wouldn't expect the data to go away. If the dialog was even "Are you sure you want to delete this mailbox?" I still wouldn't expect the data to go away even though you could infer that is what it is saying. OTOH given that he was prompted, the tech *_should_* have thought twice before clicking [OK]. I'm just trying to recover from it ... [sigh] ... ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
