My server admin deleted then recreated the IMAP files on the server for one of my profiles. Naturally when I logged in the local profile interpreted this as empty In and Sent boxes. So now when I go to that profile it shows no In or Sent messages. However, on my hard drive it still appears the original Inbox is intact with 517mb of data.

Also, in the INBOX.sbd folder there is a "Sent-1" folder with 73.6mb of data. I'm assuming these are my sent messages

What steps do I need to go through to at least recover access to these messages? I would prefer to be able to restore them to the server, but barring that would at least like to be able to still access them locally from the same profile, or failing that at least a profile I would create for the older messages.

Thanks for your help!
