I have tried to find the lost emails but they seem to be completely erased. Anyone any idea what key she might have hit and is there a way of finding the lost emails.I use outlook express and microsoft xp home. kk	kirrie kiwi (279)
228731	2004-04-12 00:42:00	I take it you have looked in the Drafts folder? On a standard keyboard, I cannot see what key on the left hand side would cause an email to be deleted. Do you have a multimedia style keyboard with the extra function keys along the top? Perhaps one of them are programmed to exit a program without saving? When the email vanished, did the whole Outlook Express program exit?	Jen C (20)

We are still at a loss to know what key she hit, but I found if you click on "Undo" the email reappears, or it did in my case. Hope this helps Smithie	Smithie 38 (1008)

Will ask my wife to remember what exactly happens next time (thats if the screen isn't broken in anger ) I will also ask her to try the undu button and see if that works thanks everyone kk	kirrie kiwi (279)
