Daily Quiz anyone?

[easthammer]

"If you are stuck at home and bored like me. How about exercising the old grey cells? I have for a number of years run quiz nights and couple of times a year. I was due to do one tomorrow which is now cancelled So I have a bank of questions sitting in my computer's hard drive. They are quite eclectic in their nature. I am thinking I could put up a set of questions for which you write down your answers. After 30mins or so I will put up the answers. DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS. before I post the right answers. You mark your own answers and post your score. I will then record the scores and at the end of the ""lockdown"" we will see who is WHO's brainbox supreme. Obiviously no looking up the answers (you only cheat yourselves) Word of warning these won't be easy questions as they have been devised for teams of six. Forming teams on here might be too problematic. So I'll try to pick out the easier questions. Any interest?"

"Thanks Charlie. No such luck as yet. I'll join an Outlook forum or something over the weekend. There are bits on the web but it generally says things like ""Set Up a new profile in IMAP and swap the emails over"". No advice on where to set this profile up though so little info to go on."

"Gents, Have a favour to ask the quiz minds on here as in desperate need of some intellingent help! WHO Mail me if you have any answers that would be appreciated. Basically BT blocked my account earlier due to someone trying to access my account, although as usual they can't say who or what. I therefore had to change my password which buggered up my email as I use Windows Live Mail and this is no longer supported by Microsoft so the new password won't save with WLM so whilst I can access emails it makes sending an email a nightmare. Bloke from BT suggested Outlook so I set that up but wally here just went bull in a china shop and set it up as POP like WLM rather than IMAP so now all my emails have vanished from phone, windows 10 email and BT email. From what I can gather Outlook downloaded them from the server rather than leaving copies there. Idiot....... I've tried searching Google to see how it might be possible to restore the emails back to the server but what I can find is rather confusing. If anyone has any ideas I would be eternally grateful."
