From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It was... I was accessing my work email which unfortunately runs on Exchange... having said that, sorry, either support whatever crap MS puts or out don't... "losing" emails cannot be part of a ready-for-public email client

Now, from what I read at the time, it was not "Owl for exchange"'s bug, it was Thunderbird. It apparently happens with other email sources as well, however you can "repair" your mailbox to get them back when you notice

I deal with a lot of mailboxes and a ton of people using Thunderbird with ridiculous amounts of emails like 50-100GB accounts and even on the few times I saw Thunderbird failing it wasn't loosing anything.

I don't trust Owl very much, the good news is that we will soon get an official and decent support for Exchange. :)
