I could not get my inbox messages to appear when I selected them. I was told to try the "repair folder" option, I did and it erased all of my inbox messages. How do I get them back?

Repair folder only renews the index by reading the mail file.

I suggest you look in your anti virus programs logs for what it did with the file inbox.
