"Hi all, \n\nIs anyone else having a problem with messages disappearing this morning? \n\nThis morning after I had checked Spamcop with my IMAP account in Windows Live Desktop Mail, I went to the webmail interface, and I saw that there were three messages there that I had not seen in my IMAP mailbox.  Those three messages had lines through them as though I had deleted but not purged them.  I didn't know how to undelete them in the webmail interface, and I hadn't been able to see them in the IMAP mailbox to undelete them.  So I logged out of webmail, went back to Windows Live Desktop Mail, and tried synchronizing my mailbox again.  But they still didn't show up, and when I went back to the webmail interface, they were gone. \n\nIn the meantime, I had downloaded two more emails in my IMAP mailbox, but they had also disappeared, both from the webmail interface and from the IMAP mailbox!  I hadn't had a chance to read one of them! \n\nAt first I thought the problem was with Windows Live Desktop Mail since it is just out of Beta.  So I closed it down and set my IMAP account up in Outlook 2003, which I've used for a very long time with no problems.  But just now I had ANOTHER email to disappear after Outlook synchronized my IMAP folder!  It did the same thing -- after it synchronized the folder, the message had a line through it, like it had been deleted but not purged.  I managed to copy it to another folder before it got purged this time. \n\nBut now I'm afraid of losing more mail!  HELP!! \n"
