Re: Sent Items still MIA, tried importing from .dbx

User created folders can easily be deleted. Too easily.

If focus is on the folder list rather than the message list and you
press delete, the folder gets deleted rather than just the message. You
do get an Are you sure dialog, but many people respond to that too
quickly.

When a user folder is deleted, it becomes a subfolder of the Deleted
Items folder. If you then empty the deleted items folder, or have the
option to automatically empty it on closing (Tools, Options,
Maintenance) then the folder is permanently deleted at that time.

Assuming that you don't have any manual backups, then you MIGHT get back
SOME of your messages using a recovery utility, such as

I am still hoping for some response regarding:

I was trying to explain that a subfolder I created "under"
the main Sent Items is not only missing in OE, **there IS no
corresponding
dbx folder in the store**!

So, for [PA Bear's] step 4b, I CANNOT drag the BlahBlahBlah Sent .dbx,
because it is not where all the other dbx's are, and its whereabouts
completely unknown.

And that's confusing me if User Created folders were supposed to be
safe(r)
and the location did not matter. (All my other subfolders appear to be
present and accounted for. This, (and I'm fairly sure I had another
Sent
subfolder as well) was "under" Sent Items, as these contained e-mails
sent
from my A1 e-mail address, as opposed to the e-mails sent from the
address
which corresponds to the primary Inbox).
