Do you use Microsoft Outlook for your emails?  Have you ever had to repair Outlook?  I had the unfortunate experience of having to repair my outlook inbox a few weeks ago.  One day I opened my Outlook to get started on my day, and I get an error message.  I should know it by heart because it took me over 2 weeks to figure out how to fix it, but I will paraphrase it for you.  It said that outlook could not open because there was a problem with files, need to run the inbox repair tool.  I instantly exited out of Outlook and tried to open it again.  Again with the same error message, like restarting was going to be my answer, yeah right, not that lucky.

Not sure abut you, but my outlook email is my life.  All my business contacts and emails are stored there.  I am so spoiled by the instant fill in of the TO: feature.  There are so many emails that I have not saved to contacts that just instantly fill in as I type their name.  That was all gone.  Luckily i changed my emails to IMAP and had access to past emails on other computers, but the contact information ans unsaved email address were lost to me.  I freaked out.  It had me at a stand still for a few days even a week.  I tired really hard to have productive days, but it was hard.  It really showed me how dependent i had become on my Laptop.  All my documents, pictures, and other attachments were not right at my finger tips.

Needless to say I was able to fix my outlook, but not after many hours of frustration and days of unproductive work.  I am now looking forward to a new way to keep track of my emails and contacts.  Starting March 16, I am going to be a changing to a new online contact management system that is part of the new BizPack, all in one business resource.  I will not have to worry about loosing access again.  I can’t tell you how excited I am about this. Right now BizPack is in a pre-Launch stage, where the activation fee is waived.

With BizPack, I not only get an online contact manager, I get so much more.  I get UDeduct, an analysis tool that will show me legal tax deductions for my business, Web Conferencing from GoTo Meeting,  Business Markting System, and Personal development which includes a subscription for Success Magazine.  To learn more about BizPack, click here.
