I have several subfolders in my local folder that I move emails to from other accounts to keep them organized. I also have all my email accts set up to archive to the archives subfolder in my local folder. This morning I came down to find that all of my local subfolders, including years of archived messages, seem to be completely gone. "View" is already set to show all folders. Any advice?

The good news is, I found them. Bad news is I feel like an idiot. But a happy idiot with his archives back! Turns out for some reason long ago I had set the local folders to be saved in a folder other than my profile folder where everything else is and I had inadvertently moved the local folder directory into yet another folder while "cleaning" yesterday without realizing what it was. Figured it out and put it back where it belongs. Problem solved.
