Unwisely, I let my son fiddle about on this Mac (OSX 10.4.11) and he managed to lose my Mac Mail. With the help of my ISP, and the "rebuild" instruction, I've got my Inbox back but all "Sent Items" have disappeared. The person at the ISP helped me so far and then gave up cos he didn't know how Macs worked so I'm sure I've checked a few wrong boxes on the route to getting this far. Are my missing "Sent Items" still somewhere on my Mac and can I retrieve them? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The will show up as messages. Not sure how to get them back into Mail though.

Thank you for that Baggs. I'll hopefully find out how to restore them now.
