Help! My Inbox emptied itself !

[mia]

I'm using Outlook Express and did a system restore to yesterday and the messages are not there either.

What can I do?

1. use Eudora

don't use OE, it's microsoft, it's not secure and it sucks...

2. I'm interested in that suggestion.

Can one buy it like at, Comp USA?

5. If you prefer not paying for things

you could download Mozilla Thunderbird, or the whole Mozilla suite (for a web browser too) from

really loved it but never could get my Acrobat Reader to work. I could not view any PDF files so I switched back.......

3. This is an obvious question

but did you go to your other folders, such as trash to see if the emails are there?

All it takes if so is to just move them back to the inbox.

6. I don't use Microsoft products for stuff like that.

I use gmail on FireFox web browser.

Odds are yer stuff is backed up somewhere. This article assumes it's in a folder called "backup," and I dunno if that's something OE does on its own, but it would make sense given the "ease-of-use" principle behind most windows stuff.

9. Thank you all

I just spent an hour on the phone with a microsoft tech.
After many "try this" instuctions, he concluded that the inbox messages are nowhere on my computer. He said that I was probably viewing a message with a virus when this occured.
He refunded the $35 fee for the service that I had to pay for in advance of the call.

Thankfully, I'm still receiving new messages.

11. If you haven't rebooted your computer

try that. I did a restore and lost everything, messages, address book, etc. Once I rebooted the computer it all magically returned.
