Did Outlook Express or Hotmail do something differently with their free
accounts recently?

SUDDENLY ALL MY "SENT MAIL" OVER 30 DAYS OLD HAS BEEN DELETED FROM THE
OUTLOOK EXPRESS "SENT" FOLDER!!

They are not on Hotmail any more either.

We're talking about a thousand letters with all kinds of info on them that I
was saving!!!

Is this just my situation? My "paid" ($20/yr) account has not been touched
but a lot of my inbox letters no longer are in order or have dates attached
to them.

I've lost hundreds of hours of writing time with important info. Is there
anything I can do????
