No, I've checked those. I'm afraid the missing emails are gone, for
whatever reason. I have extracted all the emails from the .dbx inbox file,
but my wife has kept a huge amount of emails in her inbox, so finding
anything will be difficult. My guess is that the large size of the file has
something to do with the problem. At least I have gotten new email to
appear again!
Thanks anyway,
Steve
