Good things and bad things

[lnr]

Since my last post:
- our Union Vice President (and president-elect) has resigned (for a fortnight) over inability to work with the President (and vp-elect)
- Outlook 2013 turns out to have a horrid bug relating to synchronisation of IMAP accounts
- Matthew threw up copiously on Friday, and was such a grump at the childminder's yesterday that she's actively worried something is wrong
- I'm feeling a bit grotty too - with oddly low appetite too - blaming the sertraline in my case
- my poor mum has broken her arm!
- Edit: oh and we accidentally left the fridge door ajar this morning and killed a fair quantity of yogurt and cheese in the heat of the fridge light as a result too

However:
- We've been getting more sleep
- I've been doing good campaign work for the union
- People at work are being very nice about my attempts to fix Outlook
- Matthew was much happier today
- I'm looking forward to my birthday, Mike's parents visiting and a night out
- I had a lovely chat with mum earlier
- Mike is wonderful, you lot made nice comments, and Anna sent me a card!
- a robot landed on a comet!!

So still very fed up, but coping on and off, with optimism.

A robot landed on a comet!

Hope you and Matthew feel better soon.

Really sorry you've been feeling grotty; hope it passes soon, and glad M is being great :-)

Is your Outlook problem related to http://www.ucs.cam.ac.uk/email/hints-and-tips/hermes/outlook-ost or something else?

It seems to be a separate issue - all seems completely fine in outlook then you realise it's simply not syncing folder changes with the server! Removing the local .ost file fixes it, but mail could get lost if moving between accounts or between local folders and nominally remote ones. Absolutely silent and no error messages - it's the shared account users who are noticing it when they realise they don't all see the same thing any more (and I've just seen a case with our IMAP archive server too so it's not just with hermes). Caroline's done some googling around the subject but I haven't had time.

(Outlook 2013: I ran into three bugs while experimenting with it recently, in all cases using the Dovecot IMAP server. (i) is constant attempts to synchronize, which may or may not be the one you mention; (ii) if you turn on the option to reply in the same window, it hides the original with a draft of the reply even after sending right up until you delete the spurious draft, at which point it deletes the original instead; (iii) it modifies mail when moving it between folders, stripping some of the headers.)

I'm not entirely surprised re the Union thing; the person concerned is one reason why I mostly keep clear of Union stuff.

A robot bounced on a comet! Now seems stable, fingers crossed. We're away without internet next week, so have a lovely birthday.
