Laura, glad you managed to restore your mail by whatever means you
could. As you say, once you are organised again, make regular backups
for any eventuality! I have two hard drives, so I make one backup on
there, and then another on CD so that I am covered as far as I can be.
Good luck for the future, it's been a pleasure helping you.
