154643 2003-06-24 03:42:00 Using Outlook 2000 and I recieved an email. Clicked on reply then typed in my text. Highlighted the original text in the email and deleted it. Then added an attachment and sent it. Now the original email has vanished, gone, can't be found. Luckily I have a second computer on a network that accesses the same email and I have a copy on that computer but I'm worried that it's vanished from this one. Any ideas on what happened? Thanks David DavidW (532)
154644 2003-06-24 06:10:00 does it not come with a setting to save a copy of all incoming emails?

and also does it have a setting to save a copy of sent emails?

are you sure you sent it? and not just deleted it?

154645 2003-06-24 08:00:00 The reply I sent is there in 'Sent Items'. In my account properties/advanced I have the emails kept on the server for 5 days so when I access emails from one computer the other one on the network can log on and retrieve up to 5 days later. No this one disappeared from my "Inbox" without a trace. David DavidW (532)
154646 2003-06-24 08:22:00 and its not in your deleted items stuff either?

if its that important send it over from your other pc?
and see what happens.

are you sure you downloaded it ?


best wait for some other words of wisdom from the other PF1 people.

sorry
