Thunderbird is actually one of the better programs out there.
You might have had a virus that "Ate" your messages.
I tend to stay away from outlook or any programs that store my messages on my PC in case of a virus, HD crash or any other problem.
I am using GMail and sticking to it!
Sometimes a message disappears. I look in every folder (I have many) the trash and do a search (WXP)
Sometimes it neglects to filter a message. Sometime it goes to the proper file.
I thought of going back to Netscape 8 but there's no communicater.
Any suggestion. I used Outlook on another computer. The virus or worm took out my Norton so I won't use that.
