the weirdest thing has happened to my in box

[2shoes]

all was well. i closed it and the box came up suggesting I compressed it to save space. i did. i have done this loads of times before.
went on it later and all my emails have gone and been replaced by ones from 2006!!!!
How??? they were deleted yonks ago

I'm never compressing again - thanks for the tip!

[2shoes]

i don't think it was the compressing as I have done that before.
it is like I am being haunted

I've got enough trouble with the other thread about wardrobe doors being left open - please don't bring ghosts into the equasion!

does anyone know???????????????????

[Threadwworm]

Has it somehow gone into reverse order, oldest first?

[2shoes]

no the new ones vanished and were replaced by the long ago deleted ones.

I had this in Hotmail a few years ago - I logged in one day and long-deleted emaisl had reappeared from teh ether.... gave me the mother and father of all frights!!

They're out there.... somewhere.. .

Which email program are you using?

Did you change your email program at some point? from Outlook Express to MS Outlook or vice versa?

Or upgrade Outlook Express to a new version

It's just possible that you have two message stores and it's now pointing at the wrong one.
