Lost Inbox Folder

R

Tonight, I accidentaly double-clicked one of my folders under the
Inbox, and it completely disappeared. I had hundreds of e-mails in
the folder. Many very important. Where did it go? I looked through
all the other folders, and Deleted Items, but can't find it anywhere.
Did I erase it permanently?

I found it. The folder was hiding in another folder that I
over-looked. Thanks for reading.

You're welcome :)

If you are still watching, I hope you have learned a lesson from this
near-disaster. If you have important mails or other documents on your
computer, *please* - for your own or your business' safety - make sure
that you take regular backups of your data. Better yet, take a full
backup of your entire system from time to time. It may save you from
another panic some day.

Thanks Pat. I actually do make daily backups, but I had a bunch of
important e-mails come in and I didn't want to lose them with a backup
from the night before. That would have been my backup plan.
