Re: Outlook.com email was screwed up on Sunday night/Monday for me
"What do you do for email? Run your own server?"
I almost didn't bother to sign on, but...
Get a client. Run POP and set it to leave the messages on the server or delete after x time. There are several free clients. Thunderbird seems to do a decent job, at least until they kill it. If you are really concerned, then back up the mail folders periodically. It's also a hell of a lot more user friendly.
