So my college is in the process of moving everyone from an antiquated, about-to-die email system (Blitz) to IMAP. People who have used Blitz for years are bemoaning Blitz's impending death and loudly protesting having to move to IMAP.

Two weeks from Blitz's scheduled demise, our imap server goes down. Perfect timing, huh?

And yet...very few people have complained about how "this never happened to Blitz"* or IMAP is down therefore IMAP sucks. Instead, people have just asked when it will be available again, will their emails be lost forever and the like.

I am proud of my college sometimes.
