Thanks Terry Email to myself works, but nothing else

Woolwell, no, I use gmail directly. Never liked IE, and never use it. I have just been informed, by Compumac, who suggested that I try using the BIN. I did not even know that there was a bin, but thank goodness almost all of the messages have come back. Now I would like to know why they disappeared in the first plae, please. Don't THINK it was something that I did - never seen the "BIN" as it did not show on my list.

Compumac, enormous gratitude....but how can I be sure that it won't happen again? I definitely did NOT get rid of the emails.

Thanks everyone. Fingers crossed against the next time......

Woolwell, the "bin" folder had disappeared and re-appeared deep in my "contacts" folder. I had never even seen the "bin". I use Firefox. since you asked. Don't like IE at all. I have now found it and moved it up the list. Hopefully, I won't make the same mistake again - I have moved "Bin" much higher up the list, where, hopefully, I won't lose it! I take it I can move these "misplaced" items out of the bin and into the standard items?

Thanks to everyine - and, here is a good tip - DON'T GET OLD AND STUPID, LIKE I AM DOING REGULARLY!
