The computer crashed while i was sending emails. I cannot now see the emails I sent in the `sent' box, but when I do a search on the name of the person I sent it to, I can see it in the list but when I open it, it is not there. Several other emails sent up to 18 months ago which have been archived which have a key word in it - CSW - have also disappeared - some appear when I do a name search for an individual but I cannot open them. Where are they and can I in fact recover them? They are not in any of the archives. thanks.

Email waiting to be sent are in the Outbox. Have you looked there? It is under Local Folders.
