tarotgalI deleted one of my e-mail accounts last week and I thought it just deleted the account and not the messages. I just ended up deleting 4 years worth of e-mail. Fuck. I backed it up before I deleted the account but I did the backup wrong.
Strangely, I am not freaking out about this as much as I should. There are a lot of times I need to go back and check e-mails. And there's a lot that I wish I hadn't lost. But I think I have everything that's important for my trip printed out SOMEWHERE and that's what's important right now.
Stilll, I feel like an idiot and a half. I thought I was backing it up correctly just in case this very thing happens, then I go and find I screwed that up and can't recover from it. Stupid! I will feel the loss of this for years to come, I'm sure and hate myself forever. But I was getting duplicate e-mails every time anyone e-mailed me and I just couldn't take it any more. STUPID ME! *sigh*
