[Cialug] Email

[Tom Pohl]

Wow and I thought *I* was the only one.

I started with Eudora at ISU in the mid 90's and migrated all my mail 
to Outlook in the late 90's and eventually pushed it all onto a little 
exchange server in the corner of my basement.  Then, with a nifty 
utility, I moved it to Mail.app on my mac about a year and a half ago!

Is 4gb a lot? ;) I would think that Google might even suggest a 12 step 
program.
