Everyone,
This is more a Microsoft question vs a Vista question however I never had this problem with XP. I recently purchased a Dell XPS with Vista Ultimate 64. When I was setting up Outlook (or so I thought) it appeared everything went well. I have Roadrunner as my high speed internet provider and I started receiving emails and thought everything was good. About a week ago I started Outlook and was going through my emails and all I'm not sure what I did but it seemed I lost all my current emails. It was the weirdest thing I ever saw as I use Outlook at work and never had this problem. Thinking I'd lost all my emails (and really stressing out) I started going through all of the Help topics and to make a very long story short I rebooted the system and noticed "Windows Mail". I opened Windows Mail and sure enough - there they were all the emails I thought I'd lost. I went back into Outlook and there were a number of older emails that were about a month or so old. I have no idea what I did or what happened. I'm trying to go through the steps I took when I set up Outlook but I wouldn't have set up Mail because I wouldn't have wanted two email providers. Has anyone had this problem? I'm sending this through this Forum because I'm not sure if this is a Vista issue or a Microsoft issue but was hoping someone could add some light to this really confusing problem.
Any help you could provide is really appreciate.
