Accidently deleting Outlook emails

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart has a neat explanation of how to ‘accidently’ delete email in Outlook.

For a bit of fun, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart recently explained how you can ‘accidently’ delete emails in Outlook.

We’re not getting into the political elements of this — we thought it was funny and showed that using Microsoft Outlook is so well known that a mainstream comedy show can assume that level of knowledge from the audience.

The skit by Jason Jones talks about deleting emails and then deleting them from the ‘Deleted Items’ folder as well.  Note Jason’s unique keyboarding skills.

“Microsoft Outlook is an accidental mass email deletion waiting to happen”

The explanation of how emails can be deleted from a server is something that Microsoft has yet to address .  Apparently Windows Server has no protection against crossfire between Magneto and Electro – or the risk of the server driving itself over a cliff – who would have thought?

Go to The Daily Show web site and look for the video clip ‘Server Crossfire’.  It may not be up there for long.
