Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone! I don't know if people are still interested in Gmail (personally I dislike it because of the lack of IMAP support), but I have 6 invites that I could might as well give away as Christmas gifts to the Mozilla community. :)

I just lost my e-mail

Avast Antivirus just wiped my whole Inbox file, because it detected a virus inside one of the mail messages. Just like that, I lost about four years of e-mail conversations. I have a backup CD that I made about a year ago, but the last year of messages is definitely lost. :(

Note to self: Never click on "Yes to All" if you don't know what you're doing.

Update: I managed to recover most of the mail messages using a File Recovery software. It could only recover parts of the files, which leads to Thunderbird getting confused when trying to rebuild the summary file. Appearanly, I can't copy, move or even delete messages from the recovered inbox, but I can at least read my old mail again.
