i'm currently downloading every email that i've received since about october of last year. that's a lot of email.
in case you're wondering why, well, for various reasons (most of which were so long ago that i've forgotten them) i've had to use the web interface of my website email (i.e. anything that comes to ...@ferrousland.com) since that time. previously, i would use eudora & download the email to my actual computer.
i like keeping all my mail (you know, Just In Case .. i'm a hoarder, it's terrible) so rather than delete the mail as i've read it via the web interface, i've kept it all for when i'm finally back on my own computer with my own data drive .. which is now!
so now i'm downloading almost two thousand messages. it's going to take a while.
unfortuntely, they all come down marked as 'unread' & i'm not going to read every single email since that time just to make sure i replied to it. so if i accidentally miss replying to a message of yours & you're thinking that i'm rather rude for not replying, it wasn't intentional, i promise! most of them i would have replied to when i saw them anyway so hopefully not too many people are going to think i'm rude.
if you were someone who was sending email to my gmail account (i was using it when i could, since the user interface was much quicker & easier to use than my webhost's web interface), you can now resume using the normal one, if you prefer.
