I had to have all of my files backed up, saved and then my computer wiped out
completely to get rid of spyware and viruses, but then a few files of email
are now missing. How can I Kget these back??...Thanks, Karina

p.s. also, does anyone know if spyware could have been installed when my
outlook at home was connected to my outlook at work?...if so, are there any
telltale ways to know?

If you didn't back up those last email and you don't have a mail account
that also keeps the messages in your on-line mailbox then those messages are
gone.

There is no way to get infected by Spyware by just leaving Outlook open.

Thanks so much for your answer, however, perhaps I did not explain it too
well... I did back up (or I should say, the guy at Fire Dog, did back up all
emails, as I told him I needed ALL of my data...other emails were there, just
some missing... the same thing happened with my Picassa photos...I have
earthlink as my server but am not sure the settings are right to save
them...how would I know and is there any explanation as to why some would be
saved and others not?...As to the potential spyware, I just wondered if
because they were linked, if it was possible to insert spyware this way...how
is it inserted, by the way?....thanks again so much!...Karina
