I'm still smarting over losing 11 days of mail through a combination of incompetence and unfamiliarity with an email client. When on vacation a few weeks ago I didn't have proper net access and was reduced to using a web-mail client to read my accumulated mail. I tried to mark and delete all the spam but succeeded in marking and deleting everything. There was no undelete function 8-(
Fetchmail+an_MTA+IMAP+Apache+a_webmail_app lets you have control.
An urgent mail to my ISP's helldesk revealed that they considered a RAID array adequate backup. They were concerned only about hardware reliability and (apparently) don't take any precautions against software-inflicted data corruption.
Time to get a new ISP! -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA PGP Key ID 8834C06B I prefer encrypted mail. "He used statistics the way a drunkard uses lampposts - for support, not illumination." Andrew Lang
