Title: HELP Emails in inbox vanished
Post by: Matt on December 09, 2004, 02:44:00 PM

I have been using Thunderbird as my mail client in IMP mode for several months now without any problems, but today I opened up my inbox to find that it was completely empty, When I last checked it a few hours eariler there were more than 50 emails, does any have any idea what might have happened.  

I am a little paniced because I have a lot of important emails is there any way of recovering them?

Login to your SME and navigate to /home/e-smith/files/users/"username"/Maildir/ you should be able to find your inbox mail under the cur or new directory.

If not there then you may need to restore them from a backup.

Are you sure you didn't login with a POP client and down load the mail?
