I realized what may have caused the problem: My computer was shut down
improperly while the messages were downlaoding. I had a program running that
was frozen so I turned it off without shutting down and that may have been
why the emails got lost as they were still downloading from the server. Is
there any way I can retrieve the emails from someplace on the harddrive? I
stupidly ignored all the error and prompt messages when it started up again,
and just started it normally.
Thanks for your help, much appreciated.
