Where has all the mail gone from my inbox ? It's not in the deleted folder or the sent or anti spam folders either. It's just completely and inexplicably dissapeared ?????

Any similar experiences and fixes ??

Check [i]all [/i]your folders in case of drag & drop errors.

Reboot.

all the emails are stored in individual .dbx files - they are controlled by a master dbx file - you may need to delete it, then relaunch OE, it should recreate the file and all your emails 'should' re-appear.

google it for better instructions - do a backup of your dbx files (inbox.dbx etc) before you start

disclaimer - it may not work...
