new email messages disappeared

[Guest]

This morning I saw 3 or 4 new messages in my inbox. I read one of them (it
had a link to a BD card on a website) but left the others for later. When I
returned a few hours later, the new messages were gone - the unread ones as
well as the one I read. They were not in my deleted folder, junk mail
folder, or any other folder. I searched all folders (I knew the subject
lines on several because they were replies), sorted by subject line, etc.
etc. I logged onto hotmail to see the messages on the server but they were
not there either. Nobody had been on my computer. Even if they had, they
could not have made these messages disappear: my trash had not been emptied,
but they were not in the trash.

I have never seen anything like this but I find it quite disconcerting.
Email messages evaporating into thin sounds like an alarming problem. If I
hadn't seen them this morning, I would have never known they had come in.
Meanwhile, there are people out there waiting for my replies to messages I
never read!

I'm using Outlook 2007. Has anyone else seen anything like this?

Try this.

Go to View> Current view> All messages.

Just make sure that it is not set to Unread messages only. In this mode that
will hide all the read messages.
This shuld work

No, it is not so simple. I am viewing all messages, read and unread. Also,
it was both read and unread messages that disappeared, so it has nothing to
do with that view.

I am an advance user and believe I have already tried everything obvious. I
am sure this is a MS bug. I would like to report it as such.
