Hi,
All of a sudden, mysteriously, my Hotmail Inbox (in Outlook Express
6.00.2800.1082) was empty when I logged in this morning! I did not do
anything to make this happen! This is the second time it has happened
this year, last time in July. Writing to Hotmail is like talking to
the walls
Now, I have the following files backed up from last week:
Hotmail - Inbox.dbx 1803 KB
Inbox.dbx 393 KB
I tried File | Import | Messages and chose MS Outlook Expree 6. and
all that, to no avail The Inbox is still blank.
When I came home and launched Outlook on each of my home PCs, a
'teaser', if you will, came up with the headers of all the missing
messages. They flashed for a few seconds, just enough for me to get a
quick glimpse, and then disappeared. Same thing happened on both PCs
from which I normally have accessed Hotmail through Outlook.
The sad part is that no matter how many more times I launched Outlook
thereafter, it has not happened a second time All subsequent times,
the Inbox launches empty. I have no idea where my messages have gone.
I also have not seen any messages since yesterday - not even spam,
which I am sure I get daily!
Once I get this fixed and recover, no more Hotmail for me. I will
close my long time account and move to Alloymail or Yahoo. I know they
don't care, but neither do I. I don't need a service that treats its
customer like cattle. These services are a dime a dozen nowadays.
Can someone please help. Please feel free to email me at

Thanks.
