Well, in the aftermath of my hard drive failure, I learned of a valuable service that has long been available but I never thought to look. After the crash, I could have gotten back all my lost incoming emails for that period, had I just clicked one little box in my email app.
Turns out, ISP's have the ability to save emails on their server. Some of you may already know this, but I don't recall it posted so it seems something worth sharing. I think just incoming are saved but I guess I should ask them next week if it is outgoing too. Anyway, in the email application, are settings under Account, and then Options. At least that's where it is in Outlook Express and probably Entourage. Here you can specify that the server retain a copy of your mail for 30, 60, 90 days or whatever. It definitely would have saved me a few headaches had I known. But, now I know. So hopefully this tidbit of info will be worth something to someone.
