Are you using POP mail or IMAP mail? If it's IMAP, the mail's on the ISP's server, and it could well be gone, if they're screwing things up. If it's POP, make sure you don't have it set to only view unread mail. We had a user here last week in a panic that they'd lost several years worth of accumulated e-mail, when they'd accidentally selected that option (not in Maill.app, but another e-mail program) -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
