Okay this is really weird to me but any information from anyone on this
would
be great...my mother upgraded rogers ultra light to regular light and by
the
time she got home there were thousands of emails in her inbox that keep on
multiplying. Because of this we can not even open outlook on our computer
because there are just too many messages to load. My mom's got alot of
stuff
sitting in different folders in that account, so does anyone know how to
fix
this problem or to retrieve those important emails?? Thanks in advance!!
