  Hello.
  I just have done a restore on a brand new Ubuntu installation and all my 10
  e-mails had to be deleted and created manually so that I could get m e-mails.
  
  Before doing this it would just go round and round asking me for the dam
  passwords.
  
  It seems to me that Linux has yet a long way compared to windows.
  
  At least I know my Outlook will not store my passwords on a backup but once
  keyed in thy-re up and running.
  
  Might have to go back to windows.
