Welcome to IWETHEY!

New True.
My point was that a major change of policy like this 'sprung' on users is at best poor management.


Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.
New It wasn't totally 'sprung'
From the [link|http://news.com.com/2100-1023-946430.html|article]:
MSN product manager Parul Shah said that at least the company warned people before trashing the messages. In mid-June, the company sent out an e-mail that included notification that old messages in the Sent file would be deleted, Shah said.
Sounds like they had enough warning.

Microsoft offers them the one thing most business people will pay any price for - the ability to say "we had no choice - everyone's doing it that way." -- [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=38978|Andrew Grygus]
New Yup.
You're right. I should have done more than skim the article.

New Nobody has yet admitted to seeing that message.
Maybe it came out right after the spam was let loose, so all the mailboxes were full and it got bounced - or at least that's an excuse Microsoft can use.

"If you'd cleaned out your box, you'd have gotten the message - so you see why we have to delete stuff to help you keep your box clean".

New I use hotmail and I don't read them anymore.
MS sends way too much spam to the hotmail users. I just delete everything I see from them now without opening it.
New Re: Nobody has yet admitted to seeing that message.
I think I got it
at least I removed all the mail from my sent folder at hotmail and into another email address
