Email woes - fixed

On Sunday night I was trying to fix the problems with my intermittent and slow internet connection. By the time I'd finished I'd rebooted half a dozen times, installed lots of updates, and had to run a chkdsk command. So far, so good.

( empty inbox drama! )

So now I've made a new folder to put emails in when I need to do something further to them/they're reminders of things I'm to do. No emails will be left in the inbox when I'm going to be rebooting the pc. In fact I'm trying to deal with emails immediately, filing anything that needs further attention straight away.

As I said, it could have been worse. It's been a reminder to back up more often, and changed how I manage my inbox. So if you use Mozilla Thunderbird, consider this a cautionary tale ;D
