Someone more knowledgable will reply I am sure but check the recycle bin and
resore them from there.

A friend is using OE 6 under Win XP Home.
All of a sudden, some mails have disappeared from her inbox: the last
messages, those received during the last one month and a half.
The older messages and the newer ones are available.
She says this happened after a message appeared: 'compressing mail
folders' or something like that.
I myself use another mail program so I'm not too familiar with OE 6. I
know about compressing folders, but I find no mention of 'automatic
compression' in the help files.
Two questions:
1/ What may have caused this disappearance?
2/ Is there any way to recover the missing files? They are not in the
'deleted items' folder or anyplace that I looked.
Roger.
