I'm not an expert on Squirrelmail (just an informed user), so I'll cover some of the basics with you first as an immediate "try to help" step. * Do you have access to the machine that your mail is stored on? (Meaning, can you log into it)? * If so, do you know what directory your files are stored? * If you can get to the directory where your mail is stored, then you can save it off; each e-mail (assuming IMAP) is stored in individual files. If you don't have access to the machine, do you have an admin you can contact to make a backup/copy of your mail folder? Basically, you can try to copy the folders off someplace to ensure they don't get biffed while trying to recover. This is especially good if you have important mail you can't lose. If you'd like assistance off-line from the mailing list on how to backup your mail (or get to it alternative ways), drop me a note directly. Of course, the answer to "how do I get my folders back" would still need to be addressed in this forum. Let me know... I'm glad to help. 8) L8r.
