1. Comment - Apple: Oops, some MobileMe e-mail lost forever

   (Jul 28, 2008 - 9:39 PM)

   The one thing about all this mess is that while the TOS is designed to shied them from commercial pressure, it doesn't consider much else.
   
   I (as others caught in the drought) have a life that doesn't live in a city willing to wait for your email to begin working again.
   
   Some of us JOB SEEKERS who were foolish enough to assume that a paid email service would be a little more reliable than a free one, got burnt by this big time.
   
   I moved out to california and have been job hunting for a couple weeks - sending resume's and riiiiight about the time I'd expect a couple responses, poof... email no work-y.
   
   2 weeks of effort in 'racing' against other candidates on craigslist and the like burnt up like so many rolls of toilet paper in a freak gasoline fight accident. And what might I have found in my inbox yesterday?
   
   Why a couple of responses to opportunities that have already been filled.
   
   Joy. Thank you .Mac! If any compensation were to be awarded in a case like mine, perhaps an interview would suffice. And here's to the potential employer responses lost in the 'oubliette', my apologies for using a email service that doesn't have a contingency plan for failed servers. Let's hope it's a lesson learned. I know I've learned.
   
   gmail is now the default. A pox on the IMMoblieMe.
