All "Sent" mail seems to have disappeared as of March 17.

Please advise where the Sent folder is located to determine what may have
happened.

I had kept all Sent emails from January 7, and today only emails from March
17 are visible in the Vista Mail.

Please note:

I do have access to my Sent mail via my IMAP account, but there seems to be
a glitch in the Vista Mail program:

or did I do something to delete all my sent mail?

I do not recall deleting these emails, and I would not consciously have done
so as I use Sent mail for reference?

Can the Sent Mail be retrieved?

Any ideas?

Cordially,
Bob

I reboot PC to determine if Sent Items might return, and now all Sent Items
mail is gone except for today's March 19th. What is happening?

Thoughts?

Robert

With an IMAP connection, Sent Items are often stored on your
email provider's machine, not your machine, and many email
providers tend to erase the older messages occasionally. You
may have to ask your email provider if they do this, and if they
keep any backups when they erase the messages.

Thank you .

The issue is:
I kept all my Sent Items stored on my computer in the Sent Item folder
located in Local Folders just under Outbox, which is just after Inbox.

I realize the benefit of the IMAP but my Sent Items disappeared from my Sent
Items Folder on my PC, in the Local Folder portion of Windows Vista Mail.

This is troubling.

Fortunately I do have the IMAP access. But nonetheless the issue remains:
where did my Sent Items Folder, and all my sent email information go?

Cordially,
Robert

If any folders have disappeared, click on the triangle to the left of
Local Folders to make most folders appear or disappear.

If only part of the messages in a folder have disappeared, it sometimes,
but not always, helps to click on that folder, then View, then Current
View, then Show All Messages.

It appears the files were moved to a different folder.


I have "missing files" them to the Sent Item folder.

Thank you.
