The Bird ate my Outlook!

I say here we go again … (1973 is one of my favorite James Blunt's song)

A Big thanks to everyone for their super-kind words on my 1^st attempt (so what if I had to search online for their meanings.. that’s what these blogs are about anyway, isn’t it ? ;o) And who knows .. I may clear GRE this year without Mr. Barron’s ‘abase, abash’ help!) But it has certainly given me enough motivation to go-bonkers.

My company “The Big O” (no! I dont work for any porn industry .. I never got my chance 'in' :o( ) has finally made me move to Mozilla Thunderbird. (So now you are sure I.T’s not porn!)

Actually I do not work exactly in “The Big O”, lets just say that my organization was one of those unwanted child that you try to avoid first, neglect later and then espouse last!

I mean no offence to Open Source (I am one of it’s greatest 100.000.000^th admirer), but I found Outlook way better. However using Outlook 2000 was like fighting Megatron (the Transformers robot) with my Stone-Age ‘slow, gray and ugly looking’ IMAP spears and axes, and that too without Megan Fox by my side. (I guess she is the one actually "Transformed" from the "chubby cheeks of Hope & Faith" to by far the sexiest body on the silver screen"

Ok Guys, enough fantasizing; while Girls, please continue and take your own time to get motivated ;o)

Ok so the Big O was in no mood to get me an upgrade. so now Thunderbird it is! But this transition was never too easy. I am one of those urban-organized species who urges on having every bit of information find its proper.. it’s perfect place. So as it would have it, I had more PST's (that's Mr Gates’s propriety format for storing local mails in folders) than clothes in my wardrobe. (which always is a mess :D)

Never mind this Bird looked a smart one and had this “import” feature in it. I selected Outlook and pressed the import button with a winning smile. But it wasn’t too late to realize this “piece-of-cake” import has goofed up the icing on the top (message header) and introduced these HTML tags all over to embarrass me. (Yes I don’t know HTML … happy?)

After trying dozens of third party apps and gadgets, my struggle still looks far from over. Guess I have to live with it …and wait for the sunrise when the world wakes out of this tyranny...

Live, Love or get Lost!
