Patrick - My apologies. My house is undergoing major repairs all around me and I'm a bit rattled. > What kind of accounts (POP, IMAP, > Exchange, other?) I have 10 POP accounts but only 2 or 3 have high traffic levels. > and where is the Sent folder (local, remote?). Have > you checked the Default settings in Edit->Preferences<account>? Aha! I went into my "Preferences" where I found that the default destination for sent mail had been changed to a "Sent" mail folder (containing all the "lost" messages) that is a sub-folder to a folder that I created in my InBox, leaving the original "Sent" mail folder in my InBox empty. I did not create this new "Sent" sub-folder neither did I transfer the messages to it. I reset my preferences to "Default" and sent a test mail, which functioned correctly. I then moved all the messages back to the InBox "Sent" folder where they belong and deleted the offending "Sent" sub-folder. How did this happen and how can I prevent this from happening in the future? Many thanks. Kelly -- Kelly J.
