I have run foldershare for a very long time, and def am a little excited over sync. However, it really may have screwed me up today. I backup email for our whole office to an external computer just in case anything happens..and apparently, foldershare didn't run a library or something for one pc since July. Now, we installed sync yesterday and it picked up all the libraries, synced them..and replaced the outlook.pst file on a pc with the one from July! So now this computer last lost all its emails in between these dates!!! I know in foldershare it had a seperate trash folder..but sync doesn't. What would it do with the outlook.pst that was deleted and where can i find it? workstation or backup computer?

please help!!

Check the system Recycle Bin on the computer that lost its emails - it
should contain the newer version of the .pst file.

I am bot a technical person. Foldershare worked great for me and my two home
computers. Now, Nothing works. Indownloading your latest screwup when I try
to run it I get this message "A network error occured while attemptng to read
file:C:\Documents and settings\AnthonySalvatore\Desktop\WindowsLive
Sync[1].msi"

How you can buy a good program from another company, which I think you might
ahve done, and make something so complex is beyond my imagination. Windows
systems are so complex and yet the people are supposed to be so bright is a
misguided judgement. No wonder the stock has done nothing for 8 years.
