I had a folder with 2000+ messages in it which I had placed in my Favorite
Folder pane. I was working on a reply to one of the messages in this folder
(using MS Word as the editor). I got the following error message in MS Word:
"A fatal error has occurred in Outlook. The data in your envelope has been
lost, but your document is still available". Sure enough the reply being
edited was not affected, and I subsequently sent it. But when I reopened
Outlook, all the pesonal folders I had dragged into the Favorite Folders pane
were no longer there. And when I navigated to this particular folder in the
folder list, although the folder was still there, it was EMPTY. I
immediately went to the deleted folder, but found nothing there. I did not
authorize any deletions, permanent or otherwise. Any ideas as to what
happened and what I could do about it?
PS: What is an "envelope" anyway? I cannot find it in the Word or the
Outlook knowledge bases.
Thanks!
