"Disappearing" e-mails on MSN Hotmail

[SurreyGuy]

I looked in the "Sent" box on my MSN Hotmail this morning and was horrified to find that everything (I had about 20 e-mails in there) had "disappeared"! They were all there last night!

I haven't moved/deleted those e-mails and they are not to be found anywhere! Also, I have not added/deleted any programmes, so I am completely at a loss as to what has happened!

Does anyone know............

a) what could have happened to those e-mails?

b) what can I do to retrieve/find them?

[Stormrush]

It is possible someone else done it... is there anyone else in your household or office??

If not, then may I suggest you have a virus and would do a full scan to be sure...

And unless they are in your deleted box, there is nothing you can do to retrieve them sorry to say.....

There are programmes out there to retrieve lost e-mails but I owuldn't advise it as they are full of lurgys !!

[SurreyGuy]

Thanks Stormrush.

I live on my own, so unless my dog did it, the techno gremlins have "got in"! :o(

I'll do a full scan tonight.

[Stormrush]

Lol.

Hey , may be Scooby Doo......

Well, see if you get any more replies, I'm not always right lol... there may be a perfectly logical explanation but I really don't thiink so..

Good luck :-)

[Stormrush]

OR....


you could of had few too many Jacks and forgot you
done it.. :-)

[SurreyGuy]

I'm teetotal, so that's not the reason :o)

[Stormrush]

Ah well.. worth a shot eh

Wish I was....

I only drink out of boredom :-(

Stormrush,

How precisely would a virus on surryGuys computer delete things of MSNs servers? Also I doubt MSN would give access to their servers to let anyone try running a mail retrieval program on them!

SurryGuy your best bet is to email MSNs support and ask them, the mails are stored on their server and there is nothing you can do to retrieve them locally.

I wouldn't be supprised if you find they reappear on their own though, probably just a glitch in the MSN servers.

^ someone's in a moody poody :-o

[MrBounty]

I wouldnt say moody poody.....i'd say poor answer from above!

Speaking of Hotmail, does anyone else reckon it looks and feels worse than ever??

[Lakitu]

But to be fair, Storm did actually say that he might not be correct. He (or she?) was only trying to help.

Yes, new Hotmail is horrible, I want the old Hotmail back. I actually went searching to see if I could get it back, to no avail.

[SurreyGuy]

Thanks all - please stop fighting! :o)

MrBounty - I totally agree. It's horrid!

[Stormrush]

Thankyou Lakitu in my defence. I didn't say I was right .

I was only giving my opinion.

Thbbbbb ......

[Stormrush]

Oh and I'm a She (lol) xoxo

[Lakitu]

You're welcome, SR, us girls need to stick together :o)

[Stormrush]

We do...

heheheeee



On that note Ciao xoxo

[ChuckFickens]

LOL,

not in a moody poody at all, my apologies stormrush if my answer came across as being a little sharp, there was no intention of being rude.

And as for the old/new hormail the option to choose between old and new disappeared a couple of weeks ago, so afraid stuck with the new now (I don't mind it actually)

[Stormrush]

Hey Chuck

no need to aploogise, I was referring to Mrbounty's response saying it was a poor answer from above...(referring to my response)

People are expected on sites like this one to have a difference in opinion and Chuck, you gave your honest opinion ,( It is nice to know that I can be approached to say that I am wrong ) Mrbounty just mocked me...

In fact, I didn't see an attempt at Mrbounty helping yet he mocked my response and I do apologise if I was wrong but I was only tring to help.... :-)
