Outlook Express 6 Poofing email

[Robert]

Greetings,

I have had this problem about 2 or 3 others times. Once
eairler this year. The others prior. For some strange
reason the email that is in my INBOX in Outlook Express 6
(win2k OS) rarely but randomly just Poofs and its gone.
I do not know if there is some auto save feature and then
it moves it. Basically ... HELP !!!! I need to get some
of them back badly. No I did not delete any folders or
anything out of the norm ... only thing I delete is the
endless spam.

Thanks in advance if I get some assistance on this

Robert
