Hi,

I inadvertently placed a file on my computer which highlighted, then deleted the last 4 days of Inbox emails. (All Sent and Deleted files still contain those days where relevant).

I have checked every folder and done a search for known emails but nothing! Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Many you.

Sarah (Ps *REALLY* nto techie so any help in numpty terms please ;-)

what sort of file. What your are saying really sounds an almost impossible result of your described actions.

Hi Matt.

Thank you for your reply. I have now managed to solve it. They were all inbox emails over a 4 day period. I have no idea what happened but they just disappeared. I checked every email folder in case they had somehow been moved but..... nothing/ gone.

I read somewhere about 'repairing' folders as a possible solution and tried that on a number of email folders. When I rechecked them all I found the missing emails in the Spam folder.

So now idea what, why or how but at least it is sorted.

Again, thank you for getting back to me though.

Regards Sarah
