What ho one and all,

Running XP Pro, and use Outlook Express 6, both POP3 and web based (when I want it.) Within Local Folders (POP3), I have the usual In-box, Out-box, Sent, etc but also had (note the past tense) a number of folders that I had created.

This morning, I checked the e-mail and all was fine; I received around six incoming which topped up the total in the In-box up to around 50. Just returned home, fired up the computer from hibernate and all folders are empty, zilch, nothing and not even the folders that I created.

I do have back-ups made on the fly with File Hamster, but even when using the restore feature of FH, the OE folders are empty. Addresses are all showing and safe.

I know I did not delete everything with one button press, so where have the all gone?

Grateful for any advice and thanks

Rex
