Missing Messages from Outlook Express Inbox
Last night while answering e-mails the computer asked me if I wanted to compress files to free up disc space. Not remembering what happened the last time, I said yes. The window showed it compressing, then deleting. Sure enough, all messages in my inbox from 6/30/2008 to 9/4/2008 are gone. They have not been archived. They are not in the deleted messages folder. They are not in the recycle bin. Where are they? The last time the computer asked me if I wanted to compress files I lost all inbox messages from 5/11/2008 to 6/29/2008. So, I have lost 4 1/2 months of messages. Before this problem, it used to just compress the files. I never lost anything. I am using Windows XP with Outlook Express as my e-mail handler. Can someone tell me what is going on? Thanks
