Ah yes. Reminds me of something that happened to my as-then boss in the late 1990s.

He had just got a shiny new laptop, and had about 5GB of mail stored in the Exchange server (a lot in those days). He configured his new laptop, and told Outlook to sync to Exchange.

Outlook obliged and brought the two into sync - by deleting all his mail from the server.
