Lost Email
19 Answers
Hoping someone can help me please. I typed out a long email which took me ages as it had such a lot of details on it. Minimised it at bottom of screen to finish it off after I watched a programme, came back and error was in yellow at bottom of screen and suddenly my email was gone! Don't know if I did something wrong or it disappeared on it's own. I use outlook express 6 (I think) Does anyone know if it has gone into a file and if I can retrieve it? I've checked sent box and deleted file but sadly not there. I can't face typing it all in again tonight :(

Hey Ann
I feel your frustration, I have experienced it myself on forums but though I have never used Outlook before it sounds like if it's not in the drafts folder and unless the process provide by Alex is successful that you have lost it. Fingers crossed for yah.
It's awfully inconvenient and counterproductive that apparently Outlook doesn't automatically save drafts of your new messages during composition. Both Yahoo and Gmail do.

Ann, if you're typing a long email the safest way is to type it in Word, or something similar, which regularly saves what you've typed. Then, when finished, you can cut and paste it into your mail program.
As an alternative, if you're going to leave a half-finished email, send it to yourself. When you come back you can then cut and paste the contents into a new mail to send to your friend.

Whenever you type words of data in the email box it is automatically saved and is saved in drafts folder only. if the network server error occur while typing data in mail, the email page will be reloaded and the compose mail box will be disappeared. You said it is not in the drafts, then you might have clicked on discard button unfortunately. Better you once check in the TRASH, hope this gonna be helped you to get your data back and I would have to suggest you that whenever you want to send the mail, type the content of the mail in word doc or notepad instead of typing in email box directly and copy & paste it in. Also change mail settings in Lab such as "undo sent mail", "Easy saving", etc. This can help you to send mails very safely with losing the data.
