What the heck do you need OE for?
Seriously... can't you import Outlook Express files into Thunderbird?
Yes, but only if you have OE installed and running on the system.......

Yep. Can't tell you how unhappy I was when looking over the Thunderbird documentation for that.

Self-loathing at an all-time high. I decided every time I feel really negative I'm going to buy my fiance a rose. The more miserable I am the more romantic I am

Life is all about channeling your negative energy into something constructive I find

You could always channel your negative energy into cutting my lawn for me.

I loathed having to create 30+ email accounts to create a PST so I resurrected XP and exported emails to .eml and then imported them into OE, and then exported the whole thing to Outlook so I could create a PST with modernish date stamps

I live in NJ which has, and I'm spit-balling here, 80% of the countries land fills. Lawn care isn't a thing here. It's mad max in NJ. There's a reason my state is always the butt of every Futurama joke.

Wishing I was in another job.
Me: Can you reboot the router and see if that brings your connection back?
Store: We don't have a router
Me: Yes you do as you connect to HO via a MPLS
Store: I can't see any boxes with lights, but can see Netgear Switch with 4 cables.
Me: OK follow those cables one will go to the router
Store: they go under the desk somewhere
Me: yes but at the end will to devices, one will be a router
Store: Can't find it we have no box
..........................................................No I'm not driving 2hrs to the store to find it and reboot it!!!!!
Bad mood now!
Biggest issue with this is - they have rebooted the router in the past! the MPLS has been there for 3 years and all stores have rebooted at least 4/5 times! -

It is important that you show the untamed User who is boss.

I am hiding comfortably in my office for the day.

Bored. I've got some serious post-project blues going on at the moment.
