All our workstations have open office as well as thunder bird and evolution. The users have still resist and routinely ask for outlook because that's what they know. It's on their personal pcs and probably what they used on their previous job. Only our programmer uses thunderbird. Even I use outlook coz with proper maintainance it works better than all the rest

Got to be honest, that is not bad advice, out of curiosity most people site, the need for exchange functionality as being the reason to use Outlook, has anyone here a) Tried evolution with exchange b) Tried migrating from Exchange to say Zimbra/Scalix c) Just tried using Zimbra Desktop/Thunderbird/Evolution instead of Outlook, in a corporate environment? (Am aware that the Windows version of evolution is not as complete as it should be)

Wow i am dealing with the exact problem this morning and the lady in
question is in hysterics.

me too, but it's my wife, not a colleague.  somehow, even tho she has
corporate IT staff who said "there is nothing we can do" I am meant to
restore the 6 months of emails that she has lost ;-(

she doesnt want to hear that all her emails may be

gone forever. What i dont understand is why people consider their email
software a document storage solution.

Gmail is actually pretty good re; this!

Has anybody used any repair tools for this?  if so, which...outcomes,
etc please!
