2006... my very first inbox is something I no longer have.

If I could remember my first email address, I bet I could tell you what it was.

Speaking of email... I really need to call Microsoft and complain. My email hasnt been working right, ever since the notice: "Were updating your account!" came up... My account quite literally can not be updated.

I started saving them when I figured out how to have them in chronological order rather than alphabetical order :D

This is an e-mail where I had a windows 98 SE disk I didn't use anymore.

A college student posted on a forum for help, they could not get there old
laptop reinstalled and needed it real bad for college.

So,I got the mailing address and sent it to them free of charge because
I like to see young people succeed.

My reward was the "Thank You E-mail" and it works!!!
Sorry,The USA has ruined the language The United Kingdom loaned us. We do our best not to type gibberish. I Hope you can forgive us.

Because this is a newer computer, my saved e-mails only go back to the end of 2007.  But I have old e-mails saved offline (in AOL backup files) from all the way back into the 90's.

    My oldest is from last year: my policy is not to delete emails (Just in case I get sued or need to prove someone right\wrong, etc.) anymore, and I have over 3200 email messages, most accumalted in the past 3 months since we got the new Computy-doodle!
    That's Peedy over there in my avatar, playing psychiatrist. Peedy (C) Microsoft, not me. Although I do like him!

    If you have to worry about getting sued, you just might want to take some time to straighten out your priorities.

      Oldest message in my Hotmail was received Mon 7/03/00 7:11 AM.  I started that Hotmail account before Micro$oft bought them out.  Older messages would be in my Penn State email. 
      Why is this thus?  What is the reason for this thusness?
