[IMail Forum] Missing

[Lee Barton]

Hi,

 

I have quite a weird issue, concerning mail disappearing last night.

 

A few of the management team use Outlook Express to view email at home (using the "leave a copy on mail server" option).  They have been doing this for over a year now.

 

Emails that where received at their home have not been received on their work machines.  Now, normally I would say that there's 80% chance that the problem lies with their OE settings at home (the leave a copy of mail server box has been unchecked by their kids etc).  But I also had people who had been checking their mail via webmail and the exact same issue has happened their.  - Just a coincidence, possibly.  But the people who reported the issue with webmail are extremely competent.  So now I'm left scratching my head wondering what happened.

 

There's a definite gap in my own mail between 11.00 PM last night and 9.00 AM this morning.  I have checked the logs and it shows that mail was delivered to my Mailbox (about 17 messages)???

 

Any suggestions about how to figure out where these message went?
