Guest guest Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 "Please see the attachement for details!!!!!!" Dear members, I am really laughing at this damn virus (In grief) because my mail client was hit by it (In a different way) and I lost some of the very valueable emails. My PC is protected with Anti Virus, that is why it scans before downloading any message. One this afternoon while scanning and downloading mails, it found virus then electricity failed. Later when I turned on my PC it was saying that there are some problems with the mail storage files, and as it suggested, I diagnosed the disk and let it "AUTO FIX" it. (That was my blunder.) And next, my outlook express doesnt run, later I saw that all the mainboxes became to a 250 MB size where previously it was aroung 700 MB size. The fact is that it was scanning and was half done for electricty failure, next time it found it half done and messed, and it tried to correct it and ended up destroying the mailboxes. And I lost many valuable emails. I am little fortunate that I lost only those folders mails which I was working right then. My mails are sorted in different folders (For diff purposes and lists) and previous 'Non astrological' emails and most of the folders are okay. Howver, it damaged the folders which were downloading mails right that time. My 'Jyotish Remedies' (This list) folder got total 4 KB - the size of ONE MAIL !!!!! I lost all emails of this list (Can get them from site though, but v time consuming). And I also lost mails of Lal-Kitab groups. I have to see what other folders are damaged and terminated. Thanks in advance for any sympathy but it is not needed now, let us utilize our time in astrological issues/mails only. But I wrote the mail for the reason that any of the members might lose valueable mails this way so be very careful about this. Regards, Tanvir What can not happen, can never happen. Which is mine, is forever mine. Tanvir Chowdhury tanvir http://www.geocities.com/king_tanvir http://www.geocities.com/planetaryastro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
