Inbox is completely empty

[Keepingitrealtor]

My inbox was completely empty this morning. The other day, I could only see
email message from that day, and not several days prior. It's like my emails
are being deleted, but they're not in the deleted folder either. I used to
use outlook 2007 on Vista, the trial version expired, so now I'm using
windows mail, and I imported all my folders from outlook about a month ago.
Every since, I've been having problems. I cant find any of my contacts from
the outlook 2007, and now, no emails. I still am receiving emails, but after
I check it, a few minutes later, it's deleted. What's going on with this
mail system?

View - Show all messages.

Dave was exactly right! My husband had the same thing happen, I had to bail
him out. His email was in the intray, then mysteriously it would be gone. I
would do a search for email with dates back to April for example, and all the
email would again appear from the search and say it was located in the
intray. Hoever, it was not viewable in the intray. The key being
"viewable". Once you select View, then select "current view", then lastly
select "show all messages" magically they all come back. Probaly what
happened is someone accidentally changed the view to "hide read messages" or
"hide read or expired messages". Good Luck. CD.

Forgot one comment, I believe the "show all messages" was accidentally turned
"off" by my husband clicking "show all messages", then moving mouse just so
slightly it will move to "hide read or ignored messsages" which is the very
first choice. "Show all messages" is located right beneath "create mail".
So we have all learned a lesson or two today. It's to bad we never took the
time to actually go through a tutorial or the "help" to know more about this
version of windows mail. All we did when we received the new Del computers
is just start using email by selection "create mail".
