| | Deleted Items Missing When I delete an email it does not show up in my deleted items folder. It just disappears. I deleted an email accidentally and now I cannot find it because none of my deleted emails are in the folder. Where are they going? Thanks in advance for your help. |

If you closed the window, reopened it later and found out deleted items were gone : -- Tools > Options > Advanced > Maintenance. UN-check the first one " Empty messages from the Deleted Items folder on exit " If you found out right away, I can't help.

| | Re: Deleted Items Missing So did you have that setting checked? (Empty messages from the Deleted Items folder on exit).

| | RE: Deleted Items Missing Nini, even simpler: go to "view", "current view", "show all messages". This will solve your problem. I had the exact same thing going on and this is the solution.

| | Re: Deleted Items Missing Similar situation here but it's my deleted items folder where the problem occurs. In drop down folder list, it's showing I have over 300 deleted messages in the deleted items folder. Right clicking or going to the Edit drop down to "empty the deleted folder" gives me the message of "An Unknown Error Has Occurred". However, when I actually open the deleted items folder, it appears totally empty! I've checked out many of these discussion posts looking for a solution and tried a few fixes but none work, not even the positive sounding advice from Gary VanderMolen. -- VI "Gary VanderMolen" wrote: Quote: > So did you have that setting checked? > (Empty messages from the Deleted Items folder on exit). > It is not the default. > > -- > Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) > > > "Nini" <Nini@newsgroup> wrote in message news:8FC545C7-91F2-47C4-93C2-CFA9A5EDFEF3@newsgroup Quote: > > Thanks, but unfortunately I found out right away.
