Yes, I put up my hand for deserving funny looks for using Outlook.
DH gave me Mozilla Thunderbird, but there was some feature in Outlook I used a 
lot (forget what just now) that Mozilla didn't have, so I switched back.

We back up the whole computer every week to a LaCie or Lacey device; apart from 
that I don't back them up anywhere else.  The dialogue box keeps popping up 
offering to compact my messages, even when they have just been compacted, 
repeatedly throughout the day.  I deleted thousands of old emails recently, but 
it still wants to compact everything.  

In theory I disapprove of Outlook.  In practice, well ... ...

    I am surprised that you use outlook.  Always thought it was one 
of the stupid ones.

Tell me what happens when you back up your messages.
