Re: ot: how to t/s TBird problems ?

[Chris Wensink]

Over the last several months we have seen what seems like large delays in email 
delivery as well,  we get emails at 11AM that are time stamped at 9:10.  I 
thought it was a networking issue, but I can’t be sure.  I wish I knew more 
about coding, to look under the hood to examine things further.

Re: Using / in folder names

[Chris Wensink]

Maybe this is over simplifying things but can you just open the pst file in 
outlook and then rename the folder, then import?
