I zero out my inbox about twice a year. Then I'm diligent about it for another week, and then it gets away from me and right now I have 8000 emails in there. So it goes.
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I used to just keep everything. But my hushmail has limits, so I clear that regularly. Personal, though, so there's rarely anything that needs archived.
I feel like my other mail, imap, is only showing me two years back. Do I have it set to automatically delete or something? Cause I don't want that.

I zero out my inbox about twice a year.
I sit in amazement.
I have given up getting to zero in my inbox about 4 years ago.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think I'm going to forcibly zero out my inbox before the end of the year. I'm going to cheat, but I'll do it. I think the goal of keeping it tidy is important, but I can't tell if I could be achieving that because there's so damned much. I have email in there since my first project at this job.
In fact, lemme do that now.
A bit problem is the fact that I'm on the team group email distro. I can't even count how many emails that is a day. I used to have a rule that funnelled them all off, but then I'd miss things I needed to know about. I now don't funnel emails with URGENT in the subject line, or very specific task-related ones that come every Sunday, but the rest go into a folder I never look at, and there are currently 40696 unread emails there. Only 10 in my normal inbox.

Aargh, how am I off by 12 cents? Where are my 12 cents?
It may be time for lunch, I suspect.

Has anyone else had Office products suddenly stop working?
Word and Excel are freezing as soon as a document is opened.
I read some forum responses that suggested throwing out the properties folders. I did that, but it didn't work.
I've downloaded Open Office, but would love to get the original products back.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Okay, I found the 12 cents, but not until I had mistakenly unreconciled months. But it's back now, and I'm moving forward.
Not had that problem, bonny, any particular file, or all files? Anything else running at the time? What versions of everything?

Not had that problem, bonny. Every OTHER tech problem lately, but not that one. Le sigh...
Good luck!

A propos of nothing, anyone know of a place to find unique business card holders? I'll check etsy, but beyond that?

Yes -- I swear I ended up in the Control Panel, maybe under Programs and Features? And there was a button that said "Repair" when I highlighted the program (I use the free "lite" versio that came with the computer). I googles to find out what was up, and that's where I ended up, but I can't seem to replicae the search that got me there.
