That is really not cool and I can understand your frustration as I recently lost a machine that had over 6 years worth of emails and documents on it. I was fortunate enough to recover the data from one of the mirrored hard drives a week ago, but for four months I thought it was gone forever. If we can get everyone who is having this same problem (which seems to be more and more common every day) to document their case in these forums, maybe Yahoo! will take notice and not leave all of you out in the cold like they have.
