How big can a single mailbox be? I have a client who needs to park about 16GB of emails, but most outsourced services don't provide that much.
For the paid version, 25.6GB. IIRC, you can pay to get more as well.

Whoa, I hope it is treatable.No. It is something else. There is no swelling, but it cannot stand much strain in the joints at certain angles. First it was one, now two and three fingers.
Today I was asked to install AOL 9.5 on an i7 notebook. I think I died a little bit just from hearing someone ask me to install AOL.
Suck
Philosphically or physically?
What does that mean? It is a reality.
So do many things. What is the intended purpose?
I think the question was, are you declining care due to some objection, or are the treatments not working?
AOL is a walled garden that can only be accessed to its members. There's some different stuff that's available to AOL people, and for a lot of things that we understand as web sites there's a particular AOL interface. Basically, AOL users who never use any other software do not understand anything about the rest of the internet; they don't understand web browsers or URLs or E-mail, because AOL has its own different way of dealing with that stuff, and that's exactly describes the person for whom I had to set up AOL.
Oh, I never knew that. America online is a such an apt name.
You can't get AOL with apt.
Carpal tunnel syndrome? That's what I have anyway. It's worse in the right hand, and unfortunately it's bad enough in both hands that I'm occupationally limited to averaging ~10-15 hours per week of work.
apt is the name of an installer for some linux systems. AOL isn't available for linux.:dunno:
The compressor in the Air Con in the car died this week. AU$2000 bill to replace just the compressor!
No medical insurance here. I don't even have money to have the condition medically verified by a doctor, never mind having surgery. In fact, I haven't been to a doctor since 1980. Putting aside that my faith in the medical establishment is close to zero based on my parent's experience, I just can't afford it at today's rates. Paying for the dentist is hard enough, and he's cheap compared to an MD. My sister recently DID have surgery on one hand, and they billed the insurance company $11K. Needless to say, that's well beyond what I'll ever be able to afford. Also, I've heard that surgery isn't the answer. The condition eventually returns a lot of times. In some cases the damage has progressed too far for surgery to do anything. In my case, I've pretty much lost any sensation, so I suspect the nerves are going or gone. Surgery really won't help. The only real answer is to do what I'm doing, which is to avoid foods and activity known to make it worse. I recently made an effort to cut down on high-fructose corn syrup. No idea if this has aggravated the condition, but I read that it has a bunch of detrimental effects and no nutritive value, so eliminating it can only help. Unfortunately, about a week ago I fell walking. Landed on both knees AND used the right hand to break the fall. It's still not 100% healed. Ugh. I'm typing this with the fingers on my left hand. The left hand at least is still semi-functional, at least enough to do fine electronics work on a limited basis. If it gets as bad as the right, I'm up shit's creek.Have you had surgery on the right hand yet?
The advantages of living in a place that freezes twice a year, gets to 30C five times a year, and averages a perfect 20C are priceless.
As for why I ended up this way, chalk it partially up to genetics ( my mom and sister both have it also, mom had to quit work in her early 40s on account of it ), and having to take a bunch of very physical jobs after college on account of nothing else being available. In one job I was taking inventory, punching keys all day and sticking my hands in freezers to count frozen food. In another I was building or repairing taxi meters all day long. All the writing and typing I did in school probably didn't help, either. I suspect with all the testing kids are doing these days in ten or twenty years we'll have massive instances of CTS. Yeah, I sometimes type long posts, but it takes forever. Sometimes if I'm repeating info I cut and paste portions of previous posts. That helps a lot.
And boring. I've lived long periods in hot climates, cold climates, 4-season climates, and moderate climates. In all cases I use the auto's heat/AC system.
Are you an open windows/top down guy?
Yes, I have a BSE from Princeton University, Class of 1985That is awful. I thought you had an advanced engineering degree or was that someone else? Do you have management experience that can get you into a less physical activity?
Well, I don't need to do a whole lot of typing related to my business so speech-to-text isn't of much use here. I'm fine using my CAD programs ( at least up to about 15 hours a week then using the mouse hurts ), provided I don't do anything to aggravate my condition like heavy work around the house. Unfortunately, something always needs to be done.Have you tried various HIDs and considered speech to text software?
It sounds like you know what I've been through then. Does you work place provide decent health coverage? If mine did, I might never have gotten to this point. The types of jobs I had usually didn't even provide sick days or vacations, never mind health insurance. Now sadly more and more jobs are becoming like that. I think a lot of today's college graduates will have it worse than I did.I know it was tough for me last year after the accident when I worked for a few months with basically one arm. Eventually I recovered primary functionality. I became a manager in 1987 and over time there was less physical activity. Now I work in an office and the more times goes by, the more meetings I attend and have less time at the keyboard. :roll: I don't spend much time writing reports, though there are a gazillion docs to review/approve. I have some temporary hand problems when using the mouse constantly such as working on the database or in Excel.
