Livin' La Vida Outlook
This week we're playing with Outlook.
- Norton Antivirus in place? check
- xkeymacs? check
- Special "clone it all somewhere safe just in case" procmail rule? check
- Bayesian spam filter for Outlook that's so clever it understands when I move something out of the spam file that it's "good"? check
But there's a followup...
Something about Outlook and UWash IMAPD doesn't mesh quite right. Outlook ate a few folders, then barfed them back up, then started crashing every time I tried to start it. It took a little googling, a little head-scratching, and two sane IMAP clients to work it all out, but not before I ended up running in to the living room and firing up the iBook to rescue a few messages in the IMAP store's cache that Outlook ate.
Sum result?
I'm not ever letting Outlook near my mail again. I don't need that kind of stress. It's either Mozilla Mail or mutt from a shell, thanks.
