My dog knocked out my power cable, and having a dead battery my laptop turned off. This happens sometimes.

Started it back up again, opened mail and had two message pop up - one telling me there were new features in this version and another saying my Outbox name had been changed to Delivered.

All 4 of my accounts and all of my messages in my inbox and sent have vanished. Some are still in the folders I keep them in, and the folders are there, but I've lost thousands of messages.

Anything I can do? Don't have a back up.

Have you tried going to the Mailbox menu and choosing "Rebuild"?

Added my accounts back on and my Yahoo mail has reappeared - sadly not my main NTL email, and I had some really important stuff on there, which has been deleted off the mail server now.

Where is this stuff stored? Maybe I can get at it that way.

I believe it's stored in ~/Library/Mail and then there's a subfolder for each mail account.

Nothing there...

I just don't get it.
