No computer, no email, no nothing
My trusty computer has crashed beyond the point of recovery - and with it my emails, documents, calendars... you name it. I do have a backup, but I will not be able to restore it until I get my new computer in 10-12 days.
In the mean time I will be able to read my emails, but I cannot respond to them (that includes the emails for the this week that I have not yet replied to). I am sorry for this, and I hope that we live in a world full of patience and forgiveness.
And, yes I do have more than one computer. But it is Mac and since my emails are stored in an Outlook .PST file it is somewhat difficult to use.
Note: I know that I would not have this problem if I was using Gmail or Windows Live Mail - but I like Outlook.
The good thing is that I am now getting a new computer - a fast one. Laptop, Dual-core 2GHz, 2GB RAM, 256MB graphic card, 17" screen (1920x1400 resolution), and 160GB hard disk. Ahhh....

Ayush, Thanks for the info - but I am not interested in migrating to Gmail. I want to keep my emails in Outlook.
