Can anyone help, please? All but 21 emails, including Sent, Inbox and Drafts, have mysteriously vanished overnight, and have also disappeared from the server. We do back the system up weekly, but for the life of me I can't find the Inbox etc folders in the backup. Why/how could this happen, and how can I stop it happening again? Any assistance will be gratefully received - thank you!
