What is your account type, POP or IMAP?
Do you have a backup of your Thunderbird profile folder? Since you use the account for business, you really should have a backup.

Hi I have a POP account. I am not sure what the difference is though?
I do not have a profile folder backup?
How does this all relate to retrieving my sent emails that have disappeared? Thanks, Christine

Why not?

This should open your profile folder in Windows Explorer.
Navigate to the folder for your POP account. It should be underneath a folder 'Mail' in your profile.
Underneath the folder for your POP account there should be a file 'Sent'. What is the size of 'Sent'? Please provide a screenshot also. http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem
