Re: EMails going AWOL

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hello Charlie,

Thanks for the very prompt reply. It looks as if you're right. I followed
the leads and found that the boxes you sent me to were unchecked, so there
was no instruction to save. I have now taken the option that will "Remove
from Server when deleted from 'Deleted Items.' It look a bit like shutting
the gate after the horse has bolted, I'm afraid.

At least now I know what has happened. We all do silly things at times,
don't we?

All the best,

Aitch

I recently started to use my normal Yahoo address through Windows Mail with

My machine had accumulated a few niggling little problems so I used the
Packard Bell recovery disc to go back to zero to clear everything and start
afresh. Again no problems with that.
When I went back after the successful restart to Windows Mail and set it up
again I find that I can send and receive properly but all the emails that
were in the boxes before the recovery are not there - everything I had sent
and received over the last few weeks since I switched to WM. It is a
completely empty apart from the brand new stuff of the last two days.
I have checked in the original Yahoo account - still open - but only older
messages are there, the ones from before I started to use WM.
So have apparently lost all my current message, inevitably the ones that
matter most. Can anyone with a good nose or a bloodhound please tell me where
they might be?
There's a few cans of Special Munchies in it for the dog, by the way.

Thanks in advance.

Aitch.

You should see an option to leave copy on server for X days or until I
delete...

Safest is until I delete as long as you remember that your mailbox will
eventually fill up if you never delete messages.

If that was not checked originally when you set up WM then the server
will have sent your messages to you and then deleted it's copy as son as
it was happy you had received them.

Sorry but this likely means they are gone for good.

Using an OEM restore system formats the drives, so unfortunately there
is no way to get anything back locally.
