    I thought I posted this question the 29th when it happened??
    While e-mailing myself a page from internet explorer I checked outlook to see if it had arrived. It had but all my previous e-mails (100's) were gone!!! Help in outlook could only refer me to my own (non exhistant) backups or a $40.00 program! Is there any reasonable way to restore them??
    Thanks for previous help with daily defragging and ccleaner I'm able to function with just a few freezes a day,

    With the folder selected that should contain the missing messages (Inbox), go to View > Current View and click on "Show all messages."

    HI!
    Outlook Express and Outlook are famous for loosing folders full of email. Worst thing you can do is store email in them.
    As you get mail you want to save, save it to a folder in your My Documents. You'll never have to deal with lost email again.
    Or try this:
