Yep.

No. If it ever were there it would be gone, as my husband & I both
deleted files - and emptied the 'Deleted" folder - before I discovered
the QUANTA folder missing this morning (since last using OE last
night).

And it didn't accidentally get dragged to another folder. I've expanded
all my folders, several times, to double-check.

There were maybe 1000 messages. 70% of those messages were in
sub-folders - one for each one of my clients/projects.

Most messages were rather small - just your average size business email
- but some had large attachments. (I'm a webdesigner so my clients tend
to send me lots of photos, logos, graphics, etc. to include on their
websites, which usually have not been optimized for the web so are
large in size.)

It's 10.

Thanks for your help. Will look forward to your reply.
