In case you’re wondering why I haven’t posted anything on Operation Gadget in almost two days, I really messed up my email archive. When I start my email client, my computer tries to rebuild the indexes on my inbox and ends up hanging after 20 or 30 minutes.
I am attempting a truly geeky solution: converting my email from the mbox to maildir format. Hopefully this will work. I will let you know if it does, but I don’t intend to blog the details. I want to get away from solutions that only a Linux hacker could love. I’ve felt like one of Wile E. Coyote’s relatives lately.
