if you sent me email…

my mail.com account had some sort of crazy outage — I’ve only been able to get at it one try out of 10 the last week or so, and this morning I had this lovely message in my inbox:

Valuable User,

We apologize for the problems you have been experiencing while
attempting
to access your e-mail account during the past few days. We have
restored access
to e-mail messages you have received since Tue, 8 Jun 2004 14:56:29
-0000 and are working
to restore all of your data that was stored prior to that day.

Do not worry NO DATA HAS BEEN LOST. We are working extremely hard to
resolve
the problem and once it has been resolved, we will be able to restore
your
account to its original state. ALL your stored e-mail messages and
Address
Book entries are SAFE and will be restored to your account within the
next
few days.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.

Sincerely,

Member Services

so…if you sent me a message, you might want to try again; that, or send it to my other account. (K, I’m looking at you…I know you sent me a note with a picture, but I didn’t get a chance to look at it very closely, nor to respond.)

and this is why I’m so eagerly jumping to a new email account.
