Hello, My G3-MT crashed this morning. When I restarted it, I noticed that all my emails for this week had disappeared. The older ones were still there. Can anyone explain this?
Not without knowing: the OS, the mail program and what the nature of the crash is...
Sorry I'm using OS 9.2 and Mail program Microsoft Entourage. Today I tried to bring up my screen, and I got nothing. I had to restart the computer. When I did only, one of my two hard drives appeared (I have the original 4 GB and a new 80 GB HD). The one that appeared was the 80 GB which is the one that I am normally working with. However, not only did my smaller HD not show up but neither did my icons for email and browsers. I had to install Hard Disk tool Kit which mounted my missing HD and the other icons. Then when I brought up my email, I found some missing.

First things first. If you don't own Diskwarrior, get it. Your drive's are probably still damaged. If the icons dind't appear until that drive was mounted, your programs are on that drive.
Try rebuilding the message database in Entourage.
Otherwise, chalk it up to Entourage being a complete POS and get a real e-mail client, like Mozilla or, if you have to, Eudora. :-/
MS's database-based message store would be a good idea if they used a real database to do it. Alas, they think Access is a real database, and Outlook and Entourage's message stores are built like that and croak all over themselves with dismaying frequency...
